I have just done another 'yum update' for the third time today and yum download 87 updates and cleaned up my dependency problem. I notice that If I wait a couple of days dependency problems tend to resolve them selves.
You are confused. There have not been any huge updates for this. For example, "metakit" (see above quote) for stock Fedora 7 is unchanged since May 23rd and does NOT require python(abi) = 2.4 (which is Fedora Core 6 and older), but python(abi) = 2.5. A simple upgrade to Fedora 7 would have replaced it with the f7 package already. Same applies to python-imaging-tk (... and I haven't checked the others).
$ rpm -qpR metakit-2.4.9.6-1.fc7.i386.rpm |grep py python(abi) = 2.5
