There is not other way to get python 2.4 than to get it by the
development tree. I don't expect you manually did install it from
sources or external ;)

Hm, that is curious then.

FC3test3 was an install from the ISO images?

Then please check to what "fedora.repo" and "fedora-updates.repo" are
pointing for you. What is the output of "rpm -q fedora-release"? Does it
match "fedora-release-3-8" which is the FC3 version?

Yes, I recently did a "yum update" on my FC3 test host. I just got a few
update packages, namely those official updates available from my German
mirror TU Chemnitz. I manually changed the repo files under
/etc/yum.repos.d/ to have hand selected baseurls.

Sorry, I am not laughing about you - please don't misunderstand me in
this point. But as said initially, the way you got to python 2.4 was
getting the package (along with others certainly) from the development
branch. Somewhere during your testing period you seem to got repository
entries active which take the development / rawhide tree for latest
package versions. You are not the only one. If looking at the test list
you will see that.

Downgrading may become tricky. First you should find out which packages
are not FC3 + updates versions. The /var/log/yum.log could be helpful or
else generate a package list (rpm -qa | sort) and compare the output
with the package list on a mirror server.
