Oh, I see.  The python3 and python3.3 are probably the same binary, though.

In any case, since Python 2.7 and Python 3 are both installed under
/root/.local, it looks like you didn't install them using yum in the
first place.  You probably installed them from source.  If that's the
case, you can probably just rm -rf the python2.7 folder from each of
the /root/.local subfolders that has it.
