there is a distinction. The command 

python setup.py install --install-purelib /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ 
--install-platlib /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/

install biopython (wich contains modules coded in C) in /usr/lib64/python2.4 
but install ipython and urlgrabber (pure python modules) 
in /usr/lib/python2.4/

fedora patch python to use this patch by default (from fedora python patch) :

I hope cooker's python will be patched as soon as possible !
