You only need to change two items that I'm aware of.
bin/yum.py to change the sys.path.insert there.
but in general you can just run: ./yummain.py from the code path and it
will use what's in PYTHONPATH And Current Working directory.
So - instead of mucking yum up with distutils and setup.py - why not
just apply a simple patch?
