This problem is know, but the only way find by Gwenole was to rebuild noarch 
rpm on amd64 and duplicate it on mirrors.

This should be fix in python package IMHO. Workaround: don't tag python 
package as noarch and let it rebuild by bot.

BTW: a noarch package should works on all arch, if the path change, so it 
should not be a noarch... that's my point.
