Uhm, why don't you just use the standard egenix-mx-base
package which comes for Python 1.5.2, 2.0 and 2.1 instead
of creating a new RPM distribution ?

Note that the base package will sooner or later grow intra-
package dependencies (which is why I wrapped them up as
single distribution package), so ripping out just the
mxDateTime part could fail at some point in the future.
