You are confused. There have not been any huge updates for this. For
example, "metakit" (see above quote) for stock Fedora 7 is unchanged
since May 23rd and does NOT require python(abi) = 2.4 (which is Fedora
Core 6 and older), but python(abi) = 2.5. A simple upgrade to Fedora 7
would have replaced it with the f7 package already. Same applies to
python-imaging-tk (... and I haven't checked the others).

$ rpm -qpR metakit-2.4.9.6-1.fc7.i386.rpm |grep py
python(abi) = 2.5
