When upgrading python 2.2 to python 2.3 everything moves out from under
yum. This is bad. It means any functions called AFTER the move are
victim to nothing being there. I think all I need to do to fix this is
make sure I get all the functions imported that I need BEFORE the rpm
transaction starts, then invoke them later.
