It appears I do too, using that test:
[root@gene /]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/track.py
BitTorrent-4.0.1-1

Is there some env var I have to set to make sure it looks in the python-2.3
subdir instead of python-2.2, python-2.1, or even python-1.5.  All 5 are
present on that RH7.3 system.

I just did an strace on the bttrack.py, and its looking in the python-1.5
tree, failing that and giving up.

In the FWIW category, in the above path for /usr/lib/python-2.3/site-packages,
BitTorrent is the only package installed there.

Call me puzzled.  That system was maintained by up2date until the service
was discontinued.  From the clues, it would seem that I need to go get
python-2.3 and install it.

But the local copy of yum cannot find any python.  Can you suggest a repo
path to add to yum.conf for an old RH7.3 system?
