How to install some software that requires Python 2.6 and rejects 2.7?

You can try this source RPM. For whatever reason the configure
shortcut doesn't work in F17 so autogen.sh needs to be run. Of course
this means that you end up running ./configure twice but it doesn't
hurt anything and it does build for F17 in mock for me.
