Well, it looks like you've solved your problem another way.

But I'd have recommended grabbing your install media (if you're using
CDs, pick the first one) and go
cd /media/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS
rpm -F --oldpackage python-2.3.4-11.i386.rpm
and maybe 
rpm -F --oldpackage yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm

which should get you back to the versions on the install media.

Hope this helps,

James.
