Whenever I try and run yum, I get the following error:

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

cannot import name iterparse

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)]

I've tried reinstalling python, yum, as well as the cElement module, but nothing seems to work...

Any ideas? I appreciate any help.
