My fault, instead of putting up a new binary python-ZSI RPM yesterday, I put up the source RPM. It was well spotted by Jason Bell who let me know and I have now corrected it.

The second issues seems to be Python 2.5 related, it also happens on Ubuntu. I'm not sure yet what the correct fix is yet.

Thanks for the bug report.
