Q:

How do I disable Cython?

I'm trying to install lxml in python, but it seems that Cython is screwing up the installation (according to the install instructions).
I'm on a centos operating system, and I tried to yum remove cython, but apparently it can't find the package, even though it's there when I type whereis.
Is there a way to temporarily disable Cython? I can't find this information anywhere.
Edit: I tried the following:
[root@tawfik devin]# rpm -qa |grep cython
[root@tawfik devin]# whereis cython
cython: /usr/local/bin/cython
[root@tawfik devin]# rpm -e /usr/local/bin/cython
error: package /usr/local/bin/cython is not installed

A:

Use following command to find the package 
rpm -qa |grep cython

Then if found then copy past your package name in this command to remove it.
rpm -e <package_name>
