This error has nothing to do with your repository configuration.

It looks like you have a mis-matching yum components. You have perhaps 
mixed up files from multiple yum versions on your machine. This is 
difficult to do it you're using the offical yum rpms but possible if you 
installed it somehow else.

Some questions:

How did you install Yum? (from source, from a RPM? where from?)
What does "yum --version" show?
What does "rpm -q yum" show?
What does "rpm -qa 'python*' " show?
