Do the rpm command in one line first.
If yum doesnt find the python26, then try and find the rpm’s on the internet and then install them manually.
Then follow the other steps.
But yeah if you dont have python26 installed then you willl get the error you posted here.

Tried your instructions, there are a few problems with it.
The CHL repo seems to be broken
rpm -Uvh http://yum.chrislea.com/centos/5/i386/chl-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CHL
These commands both work, but when I do a search for python26 or something it cant find it.
If I look at yum repolist it shows the CHL repo enabled but it still cant install any of the python packages
and when you do
root@snap vboxweb-read-only]# python26 VBoxWebSrv.py adduser user password
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “VBoxWebSrv.py”, line 535, in
g_vboxManager = vboxapi.VirtualBoxManager(None, None)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py”, line 470, in __init__

File “”, line 1, in

File “/usr/lib/virtualbox/sdk/bindings/xpcom/python/xpcom/vboxxpcom.py”, line 51, in
raise Exception, “Cannot find VBoxPython module”
Exception: Cannot find VBoxPython module
which seems to be the problem everyone is having
any ideas?
