* Missing "BuildRequires: python-devel" at least.

* Unowned directory: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/elementtree/

* Missing python-abi dependency. It uses a wrong "python >= 2.2" dep instead.

* Explicit "Requires: expat" is redundant and should be deleted, as
  libexpat.so.0 dependency is automatic already.

* "Obsoletes" ought to be versioned:
  
    Obsoletes: elementtree <= %version-%release
  
  so the package doesn't occupy the full namespace of "elementtree" and
  "cElementTree", and renaming would be easier (non-issue for Python
  packages, though).

* Relevant rpmlint warnings:

  W: python-elementtree strange-permission cElementTree-system-expat-setup.py 0664
  W: python-elementtree strange-permission elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.zip 0664
