Hello: Python programs shouldn't really be .noarch, as compiled python bytecode isn't exactly cross-platform. In case of yum this is particularly noticeable, as it doesn't ship .py files, only .pyc. When installed on, say, linux ppc, yum RPMs provided on the download site reportedly don't work because python cannot run .pyc files due to endianness issues.
