It's pretty likely nothing is there, because there is no Yum for Python 2.6
installed on CentOS by default. So either you are to place the yum files in
your Python 2.6 site-packages directory yourself, change Python 2.6's
'searchpath', build a Yum RPM for your Python 2.6 environment or - and
that's probably the best thing to do - make sure Yum uses your old Python
2.4 binary instead of the newer Python 2.6 one. I'm guessing your new Python
overwrote your old Python binary or is earlier than the old one in your
$PATH.

If you just execute python, what version launches?
