Python 2.1 dependencies

[Bruce Wolk]

On an RH 7.1 system I rebuilt the source RPMs for Python 2.1.  But when
I tried to install  expat-1.1-3tummy.i386.rpm, I got the following error

error: failed dependencies:
                    libexpat.so.0   is needed by abiword-0.7.13-2

This is odd, since  /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 is present on my system, but
also what does Python have to do with abiword?
