Alternatively, the question is "Why do these packages need libpython24.so.1.0 and is that proper?"

With BR python-devel and a file /usr/lib/k3d/libk3dpython.so.* that
looks very much like it's a k3d plugin for Python scripting support.

Well, in my case (plplot), plplot-devel provides:

/usr/lib/libcsirocsa.so
/usr/lib/libcsironn.so
/usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so
/usr/lib/libplplotd.so
/usr/lib/libplplotf77cd.so
/usr/lib/libplplotf77d.so
/usr/lib/libplplotf95cd.so
/usr/lib/libplplotf95d.so

None of which require libpython2.4.so.1.0. However plplot-devel does require plplot, which also provides:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_plplotcmodule.so
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/plplot_widgetmodule.so

which do require it. So in this case it seems like the thing to do might be to move the first libraries into plplot-libs, and have plplot-devel require that, not plplot, much like you pointed out with k3d.

So the answer to the above question may be, "No, it's not proper. Fix your packages so the -devel packages don't require libpython2.4.so.1.0".
