The issue was introduced by a recent change in the python package. This
blocks about 21 python-* packages to get build. See BZ #414711 for
reference. 

The change log in python.spec says:

* Fri Dec  7 2007 James Antill <jantill at redhat.com> - 2.5.1-18
- Create a python-test sub-module, over 3MB of stuff noone wants.
- Don't remove egginfo files, try this see what happens ... may revert.
- Resolves: rhbz#414711

Thanks,
