Did you actually try that? I wouldn't recommend that as
a lot of stuff depends
on python (including yum). If someone is having trouble
handling a yum update,
they probably aren't going to have much luck doing an
update using what's
left of the system after removing python and all of
it's dependencies.
I looked at the packages with the conflicts and I removed them either with rpm -e or with
yum erase package_name.rpm. Then I ran yum update successfully. At that time, only about
3 or 4 packages were removed so that I can yum update. At this time, this might be
different but it worked for me. I have 3 machines running rawhide, only 1 fails to load X
it freezes and does nothing. It works on level 3 though. YMMV with removing the packages
with the conflicts.
