cant remove it.

Why you say i cant just yum install python3.3.2

that way it would be installed correcttly automaticall by yum manager
and if later i want to remove ot to install 3.3.3 or a later version i
would have to do yum remove python3.3.2

but yum cant seem to find any python packages to install.

Still i feel my system is a bit messed p and i just want to leave the
2.6 installed and remove all the rest python and then yum install
the_latest_one.
