python(abi) present, but blocking rpm -i

I've built an rpm with a build dependency on python => 2.4. The
buildrequires is explicitly stated in the .spec, and the build proceeds
uneventfully. However, I cannot install the resulting rpm--on the very
machine where I built it. The message
is "requires python(abi)." Meanwhile:

rpm -q --whatprovides "python(abi)"

returns "python-2.4.2-3.2.1," which is installed.

How can this be? Is this an rpm problem? A python problem? Or some kind
of problem with my package source?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

PS: The package is a new Gnome screen reader called Orcaunder active
development by Sun.
