Python issues on CentOS - error loading shared libraries - libpython2.7.so.1.0
I was advised to post this here from the community at Stack Overflow.
One of our CentOS servers has went into a strange state and is complaining that libpython2.7.so.1.0 cannot open shared object files. Yum is unusable and other features are failing to function (such as sending mail from the system, SSH'ing to it etc.) I really don't want to have to rebuild the server from scratch and I'm hoping someone can advise on a fix for me.
An example of the error I am presented with when running Yum:
/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please note, I cannot use the pipe symbol (as I am having to manage the system via VMware console) and I cannot copy text from this console either, so if you require me to run any commands I will have to type the results out manually.
Answers to the questions asked on Stack Overflow:
Typing python into the CLI still works and opens Python (note the date/time stamp below is when this stopped working!):
Python 2.7.15 (default, Jun 18 2018, 08:40:16)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28)] on linux2
>>>
Typing rpm --verify -a into the CLI returns the following:
$ rpm --verify -a
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
centos python yum

Usually, when I have a shared libraries issue, I use yum provides to install those. For example:
$ sudo yum provides libpython2.7.so.1.0
[sudo] password
Loaded plugins: nvidia
python-libs-2.7.5-68.el7.i686 : Runtime libraries for Python
Repo : base
Matched from:
Provides : libpython2.7.so.1.0
So, to be able to do that, I suggest I remove yum and reinstall it using rpm package:
$ sudo rpm -e yum
#download yum.rpm
$ sudo rpm -ivh yum.rpm
You can download yum rpm package from here. You might also need to remove packages linked to yum like yum-utils...

You mentioned the date in the Python interpreter (Jun 18 2018) is when everything stopped working. Did someone attempt to upgrade the system's Python version manually? I do not see that Redhat/CentOS offers Python v2.7.15 as their current Python version is pinned to 2.7.5. Fixing that would require getting the system provided Python back onto the server. Since you want to avoid rebuilding, you could mount the disk on a working CentOS machine, use
yum --installroot=/where/you/mounted/your/diskand make sure all the proper Python packages are put back in place.– GracefulRestart
