Unfortunately it's very hard to detect python modules... we
could
explicitly set a requirement on the path:
BuildRequires: python,
python-devel, %{_libdir}/python/site-packages/xml
but also that doesn't
work, since this is valid for RH only... SuSE puts
the module under
%{_libdir}/python/xml...
Is there a way to implement this check with a
%pre section? in this way
should be easy to check it directly with the python
interpreter...
