Ah, I misunderstood.  I told you, my python is not nearly so developed as my PHP
or even my C++. :)

Agreed, and I was not proposing to use symlinks, I was proposing to move the
test_ script there directly.

Which is why I put it in %doc in the first place (which would still be my
preference).  I was thinking I could put it in put with a note detailing how a
user could get the test script to work, namely copy it and the main script to
the same place and run.  Given the Python shipped in Fedora, it should be
working from the get-go once the rpm is installed.  Hence my use of the word
'extraneous in Comment #2.
