ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pyinotify/_inotify.so:
undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4
--------------------------------
This is due to the python-pyinotify build system failing to segregate
the _inotify.so extension module - it's built only once, not once per
python version as it should be.
The attached patch fixes this, by forcing a rebuild before the module is
installed for each python version.
