It's marked internal only. The initial bug report is:

Description of problem:
Japanese codecs by Tamito Kajiyama is very useful and popular.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to use Japanese with python2.2 in RHL
2.It lacks Japanese Codecs..
3.


Comment #1 from Trond is:

Added to python-2.2.1-9



Looking back, what we should have done was to build python-japanese as a
separate package, but this is history now. Maybe with python 2.5 we should 
split it.
