That's determined by the package build, not anything to do with the package installer tools (either rpm or yum). Some 3rd party repositories like IUS or software collections have python27, and that's the best way to install it. If you've built your python from source, then you've circumvented the package manager and done "Bad Things". -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77
