 I'm not entirely sure what you are saying here, certainly python does
have two paths currently:

% rpm -ql yum | fgrep sqlite
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.pyo
% rpm -ql yum-metadata-parser | fgrep sqlite
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sqlitecachec.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sqlitecachec.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sqlitecachec.pyo

...the remaining bug (for years now) is that our python packages uses
"/usr/lib" instead of "/usr/share" for the noarch path.
