if you have to hack around that in such a bad way, upstream is broken.
the .pyc files are not arch dependent by the way... 

Upstream should simply query python to get the proper path for arch dependent 
and arch independent locations:

Location for arch independent files:
python -c "import distutils.sysconfig ; print 
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=0)"
(this maps in the spec file to %python_sitelib)

And for arch dependent files:
python -c "import distutils.sysconfig ; print 
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=1)"
(this maps to %python_sitearch)

You can't just move files around as you wish for python to find them. It has 
it's logic / algorithms on where to look for files.
