That won't make available i386 Python in Core on x86_64.

But if you wanted to make k3d-devel multi-compatible, you could split
the huge k3d package into a k3d-sdk (or k3d-libs) package and a main
application package. Then k3d-devel could depend on just k3d-sdk and
would no longer require Python.

$ rpm -qf $(which k3d-config)
k3d-devel-0.6.3.1-1.fc6
$ k3d-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lk3dsdk -lsigc-2.0   -L/usr/lib -lGL -lpthread -L/usr/lib -lGLU
$ ldd /usr/lib/libk3d*.so.0|grep pyt
$

A similar approach might suffice with other four packages listed above.
