Python i686 vs x86_64 -- for testing a python library

I am diagnosing a bug/odditywith a python library that uses Pyrex and
other oddities. In the course of that, I have installed python.i686 on
my F16 x86_64 system, and I'm trying to run it and... no dice!

According to rpm, python.x86_64 and python.i686 both own
/usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2.7 . Those binaries are 64 bits.
Googling around, I cannot find any clue on how to run the 32 bit
binary.

Had optimistically assumed that I'd find python.i686 stashed somewhere
when I looked at rpm -ql python.686 ...

cheers,
