There is an error with command yum. I believe it's a difficult problem searching several days without a solution way. I finally decide to reinstall python and yum. I have yet installed python successfully, but unfortunately, failed to install yum.
First, I deleted python and yum from the system based on CentOS6.5
# rpm -qa|grep python|xargs rpm -ev --allmatches --nodeps
# whereis python |xargs rm -frv
# whereis python
# rpm -qa|grep yum|xargs rpm -ev --allmatches --nodeps
# whereis yum |xargs rm -frv
Then, I downloaded those files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77968 Aug 19 2016 python-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176932 Aug 19 2016 python-devel-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64.rpm

I ran rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs python*.rpm to successfully reinstall python.

In the final step, I ran rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs rpm-python*.rpm yum*.rpm but it failed. Below is the error message:
error: Failed dependencies:
rpm = 4.8.0-55.el6 is needed by rpm-python-4.8.0-55.el6.x86_64
libxml2-python is needed by yum-utils-1.1.30-40.el6.noarch
# rpm --version
RPM version 4.8.0
I can't find anything about rpm = 4.8.0-55.el6, what the hell it is? Hope for your helping, thanks in advance!
