None of your examples violate what Jesse is saying, although they may
need some explanation:
> aqbanking-1.8.1beta-3.1.x86_64.rpm
- The python portion of this exists entirely in sitelib. There's no
mixing of sitelib and sitearch.
> audit-libs-python-1.1.5-1.x86_64.rpm
- There are two separate modules in this one. audit and _audit. They
exist at the toplevel: %{sitelib}/audit.py and %{sitearch}/_audit.so.
The _audit.so portion is referenced by the audit.py portion but it is
not the same. If the modules were structured like this:
%{sitelib}/audit/{__init__.py,audit.py}
%{sitearch}/audit/{__init.py,_audit.so}
then the modules would conflict and current python will find only one of
them. [1]_

- Two separate modules: elementree in sitelib and cElementTree in
sitearch. Same as audit-libs-python.

- Exists entirely in sitelib.
