I'm getting a similar error:

...
    import xf86config
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 1, in
<module>
    import ixf86config
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ixf86configmodule.so:
undefined symbol: xstrtokenize


But is related to /usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display,
/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display which is provided by rpmfusion.
