Right. The 'noarch' tag denotes a 'binary' package that is not
arch-specific; it will work without modification on any architecture. A
package that includes compiled C code is clearly *not* arch-independent,
you can't apply the noarch tag to it. If your package includes a
compiled C extension, you cannot mark it as noarch.

I suspect you may want to read the Python packaging guidelines -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python - to make sure you're
doing everything else right, too. Pay particular attention to
python_sitelib vs. python_sitearch .
