It appears that the python you are using is for Fedora Core 4 and not  
5.  It's possible that you somehow managed to install the yum package  
for a newer python but the python installed on your system is for  
Fedora 4, and since it's an older version it doesn't see the newer  
'yum' modules.

This is a rather unfortunate sitation to be in.  Since it's such an  
old version of fedora (at least 3 years old now?) I would have to  
agree with the other people who responded, you'd be better off saving  
your user data and reinstalling the latest Fedora from scratch, and  
restore your user data afterwards.

If you'd like to use something with similar releases, I'd suggest  
switching to CentOS 5, which was based on Fedora Core 6, and is freely  
available. http://www.centos.org/
