FWIW, I've been working this weekend on a very different way of
packaging Python modules that may better support building out parallel
multiple stacks in RPM form.
I just posted details to the Fedora Python SIG list here:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/python-devel/2010-March/000213.html
Assuming I can get it working (it's still an experiment), it may scale
up nicely for a future day when perhaps we want to add e.g. python27,
python31, python32, etc.
Early days, though.

Also FWIW, the IUS Community Project [1] has a python26 set with a number of modules
built. For the most part the module packages were pulled either from EPEL or Fedora and
rebuilt against the python26 parallel install so porting them back to EPEL should be only
a matter of removing the '.ius' release tag.
