How are you so sure what I am doing?

In fact, I haven't changed the enabled line 
in any of the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ -
they are exactly as they were after I upgraded to FC-3,
namely fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo have enabled=1
and the other twoi have enabled=0.

To repeat, all I did was upgrade from FC3-test3 to FC3,
and run "yum upgrade".
This caused 209 rpms to be downloaded,
including updates of yum and python.

So yum worked before this, and didn't work afterwards.

As a matter of interest, did you run "yum upgrade"
after installing or upgrading to FC-3?
If so, how many rpms, roughly, did you download?
And did they include newer versions of yum and python?
(I get a record in /var/log/yum.log.)
If so, what were these versions?
