Out of curiosity, do you have openoffice or libreoffice installed?
I do not recall the exact problem or solution but it related to 
incorrect usage of shared libraries.

If you do search for libpython such as some of the examples on my system:
$ locate libpython | grep so
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/libpython2.6.so
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/libpython2.6.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so
/usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/libpython3.1.so
/usr/lib64/libpython3.1.so.1.0

The 2.7 and 3.1 versions are from the distro (F14) and 2.6 version from 
the one I build myself. The other is from libreoffice and it probably 
the one that is being found instead of the correct python library for 
your system.

Obviously removing or probably updating libreoffice (3.3 final was 
released 2 days ago) would solve it.
