[Twisted-Python] twisted-2 won't work with Fedora

There is a big problem with twisted on Fedora/Redhat multiarch. For
example, x86_64.
The problem is that Fedora puts arch-independent (.py) code into a different
directory than arch-dependent code.
Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work correctly with python's module search
algorithm.
The problem shows up when twisted-sumo is installed. Then we have:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/...
and
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/...
This won't work.
I realize the problem is with python module search, but it looks like a big
effort fix the code. A simpler solution would be for twisted to just avoid
the problem. If twisted put core c-code into a different place, we could
have:
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/twisted-core
That would solve the problem.
