you can start yum with whatever ver of python you want but you want to 
tread carefully here. Yum needs a python with access to the rpm module, 
urlgrabber, the yum modules, sqlite and others.

So if you're just installing a new version of python you may find none of 
the modules yum needs are available in that python's syspath.
