Seems I've got the same versions you do. Couple additional packages,
but nothing major.
[jperrin at www ~]$ rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-libs-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpm-build-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpm-python-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpmdb-CentOS-4.3-0.20060314
redhat-rpm-config-8.0.32.1-1

Yep. That's an error alright. However it works fine here.

[jperrin at www ~]$ python

Now call me  suspicious, but your python does not identify itself, and
