Yeah, rpm can be fragile :(
Here is what I've done just now:

removed, and re-installed that version of yum, no change

The python stuff seems to be mostly ok from this:
[root at coyote dlds-rpms]# rpm -qa|grep python
python-devel-2.2.3-7
python-tools-2.2.3-7
rpm404-python-4.0.4-8x.27
gnome-python2-applet-2.0.0-2
libxml2-python-2.6.6-3
mod_python-3.0.4-0.1
gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-2
python-docs-2.2.3-7
postgresql-python-7.3.4-11
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2

python-clap-1.0.0-3

[root at coyote dlds-rpms]# rpm -V `rpm -qa|grep python`

So unless I was using the wrong option, the python install seems to 
verify except for ancient stuffs.

But, I tried to do:
[root at coyote packages]# rpm -F libxml2-python-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm
warning: libxml2-python-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key 
ID 4f2a6fd2
[root at coyote packages]#

And got my prompt back instantly.

I gotta head for the hill, later Wayne, and many thanks.
