[Fedora-packaging] python listed explicitly as exception and added to buildsys-build groups

So at one point in time, it would appear that something in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-4cadce5e79d38a63cad3941de1dadc9d25d67d30 
pulled in python, according to 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/FullExceptionList

However now it doesn't seem to happen, and python isn't being installed by 
default in buildroots.  Python is a pretty integral part of our distribution 
and a lot of assumptions are made that python is there, even at build time.  
I would like to propose that we add python to the Exception list so that it 
can't ever disappear again.  We list perl explicitly, even though its pulled 
in via rpm-build (and a couple other things), so why not python?
