I think we're confusing the point.  If the binary blob is part of the
python module that won't work.  Lets look at your examples:

> \n' /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/* | uniq | grep x86_64
> aqbanking-1.8.1beta-3.1.x86_64.rpm

Only arch specific stuff is in %{_libdir}/aqbanking/
%{_libdir}/gwenhywfar/ and %{_libdir} itself.  There are no python
modules that span both python sitearch and sitelib.

This one is strange, has /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/audit.py
AND /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/_audit.so, not exactly sure whats
going on there...

> avahi-tools-0.6.10-1.FC5.x86_64.rpm

Only has python content in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/avahi,
no /usr/lib64 python content.

> python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.2.1.x86_64.rpm

Has two different modules.

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/elementtree/ being the 'elementtree'
module and
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree.so being the
'cElementTree' module.  Again no mixed locations for the same module.

> wireshark-0.99.2-fc5.2.x86_64.rpm 

Once again, the only python content is
in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/, no python content in /usr/lib64.

So I fail to see how these serve as any kind of example.
