[Yum] Issue with python upgradation

[nikunj badjatya]

Hi,
My yum version is 3.2.22 ( although "$ yum --version" also not working !!.)

I have installed python2.6 separately in /opt directory.
The directory as I saw "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/"
contains all the yum libraries.

Can I copy them to /opt/python2.6/site-packages  ?

Thanks,
Nikunj
