I've taken these packages as a starting point. I will need additional 
python modules and I do also need compat-python23 and why not take these 
packages into Fedora. Why is everyone wicked about maintaining packages 
in a third party repository? I know rpmfusion and most packages seem to 
be quite good. What's the reason for not taking them into Fedora - 
except those packages with non-floss licenses?
