OK, looking at the cvs for the package there was never a build
committed. Looking through the old Package Review bugs I found the
associated bug (below). The srpm is still at the original location. Is
it still the current release? The question I have to ask is, if it was
never committed and built was it ever used? What are the packages that
depend on it?

I also submitted the srpm to koji as a scratch build to see if it
would still build but in the very least the package is going to need
to be fixed so it builds with python 2.6
