升级python后yum报错_Python升级导致yum不可用 “ No module named yum”

最近在看Python，虚拟机装的是CentOS 6.6，自带的Python版本是2.6.6，打算升级到2.7。

我的升级过程大致如下：

下载2.7源码包https://www.python.org/downloads/source/

卸载旧的python，rpm -e python

编译安装python2.7

整个过程没有遇到问题，但升级完后，再用yum安装软件时报如下错误

[root@localhost python]# yum

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules

required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named yum

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:

2.7.13 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 09:37:14)

[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to

yum不可用了，这下问题就大了，spacer.gif没有yum，安装rpm包特别费劲。

开始百度关键字“No module named yum”，出来很多帖子和博客，博客上边说的大概意思就是yum就基于python的，升级python后，yum与高版本的python不兼容，导致yum无法使用。博客上给出的方法都是修改/usr/bin/yum文件的头部，把/usr/bin/python修改为/usr/bin/python2.6就可以了，但我的情况是我把旧的python已经卸载了，于是又开始安装2.6版本的python。

安装好2.6.6版本的之后以为就好了，但是还是报有错误：

[root@localhost python]# yum

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules

这就奇怪了，都已经把旧版本的装上了，还是不行。这时看到一篇博客是把python和yum都全部卸载后重新安装的。想想这也是个办法于是就又全部下载

whereis python |xargs rm -rf

rpm -e --nodeps python

卸载后重新安装，从光盘镜像里找到python和yum的包

rpm -ivh --nodeps python*

rpm -ivh --nodeps yum*

这次总该好了吧，验证一下

[root@localhost python]# python

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 09:37:14)

[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import yum

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 23, in

import rpm

ImportError: No module named rpm

还是报错。不过这次错误变了，变成了“No module named rpm”

再次百度，看到有人说是缺少包：rpm -ivh rpm-python-4.8.0-37.el6.i686.rpm

安装上面的包后一切yum恢复正常了。

那问题又来了难道因为yum就不升级python版本吗？当然不是。其实是我在安装新版python的时候把旧版本的也卸载了才导致这样的问题。

后来在不卸载2.6版本的python是，重新编译安装2.7版本，安装成功并且yum仍然可用。
