As warned, these packages are built and are now moving over so should be
showing up in tomorrow's development push.

I've rebuilt the majority of Core which showed up with a dep on
python[1], but I'm sure I missed something in my query.  Also, there's a
healthy number of packages in Extras which will be hit by this as well.

If anyone runs into any problems or has any questions, let me know.  And
if you need a python25 package to play with while on FC6, my slightly
older packages are still available at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/python/fc6/.  The changes from that
build are largely clean-ups and shouldn't impact any basic porting
effort.

version of python and I didn't dig into all of them to fix.
