Python Eggs & distutils in Rawhide

Just a small heads up for those of you packaging python modules.
python-2.5.1-18, just built for rawhide, has reverted a small patch we
were carrying that disabled generation of egg-info for modules created
by distutils.  That means that python modules built against rawhide will
now create an extra file of metadata in the python_sitelib and
python_sitearch directories.  You'll need to include those in your
%files section if it's not already pulled in via a wildcard.

For more information on what these files give us, take a look at the
Python Egg Guidelines on:
