It's really unfortunate for the hope of building portable rpm
packages that python likes to embed the version in the path.
I understand why this is so, but it's still a pain for 'binary'
(as in not-source) packages.

At least for x86_64, the path is wrong, and you can't use this
package unless you intend to also use an x86 (not x86_64) Python:
x86_64 installs to /usr/lib64/pythonX.Y 

I'm also somewhat surprised that x86_64 distributions come with
Python 2.2.3, I thought most of the "production" distros were
using Python 2.3.x

Basically it looks like "build from source" is going to be the path...

This command, if it was captured verbatim and is not
just a transcripton error, is not what you wanted...
