Haven't been over to yum land in a while, but usually they stabilize the distro in synergy to the python version. Ubuntu came with 2.7, and I just use sudo-apt get install, for 3.2(or a gui package manager), and then can use 3.2 with using the command python3.2 in command line, or you can compile from source with a newer python not available with your distro's package manager/repository.
It's really up to your distro's base linux, and python version decided on top of a specific distro they define as compatible with the distros system.

No. > - What should user get after using "yum install python"? Will a base install include Python 3? If it does, I think yum install python should mean python3, and hence already be installed. //Lennart
