I went ahead and just added them to EPEL via the spacewalk gui at that point.  Easy enough, but the "channel" picklist under "Manage Software Packages" has a bizarre ordering of its items now.

I was able to install packages in EPEL on a client just fine so it seems fairly benign.  Also, I have since added an additional 3 packages to my EPEL repo conf file and run the script but w/o any python errors so it looks like that might have been a one-time fluke.  Anyone have any suggestions?
