This is because the dispatch module provided by ruledispatch has a higher precedence than anaconda's dispatch in sys.path.

This breaks the RHupdates mechanism. What needs to happen is that the /usr/lib/anaconda paths be inserted into sys.path after all the updates paths.
I'm not sure what the "updates paths" consist of, but the code in the following patch might be sufficient if I've guessed right. It seems a bit hacky, though. A cleaner way to do this would be to make an anaconda module (either in python_sitearch or as a subdirectory of %{_libdir}/anaconda) and put all the code in there. Then the code will be properly namespaced and you'll be able to write unambiguous import statements like:: from anaconda import dispatch
Created attachment 291858 [details] Patch to place /usr/lib/anaconda after RHUpdate paths in sys.path
Committed, with some slight modifications. Thanks for the patch.
