All this does remind me of the "old days" when python-devel didn't pull

Well, for "pure python" packages, there is no 'building' involved. Just
copying the files to a specific location. However things that use distutils,
then yeah, I can understand build requiring the python dist-utils module, or
just python since its included (do we have something for python like perl's
perl(Foo::bar) stuff?)
