Any .so or other binary(!), specifically compiled for a specific arch
should go into _sitearch, any non-arch-specific (which includes *.pyc
and AFAIK *.pyo, those are version specific, not arch specific) into
_sitelib.

Just run
    find $(rpm --eval '%python_sitelib') -name '*.so*'
    find $(rpm --eval '%python_sitearch') -name '*.so*'

If all is well, the first command should output nothing, the latter
should output e.g.
    .../site-packages/Crypto/Cipher/AES.so
    .../site-packages/Numeric/umath.so
    .../site-packages/pygame/joystick.so

You get the idea?

HTH,

as a way of enhancing the flavor of their food.              -- Shmuel Metz
