I recently upgraded my laptop computer to RH7.2 and just got a chance to
test this.  I'm seeing a similar problem with the python configuration.
The output looks like:

...
Building PyQt Python module.
 
echo 'pyqt_pl pyqt_plmodule.c -I. -I/usr/include/python2.1 -I/usr/include/python1.5/Numeric -L.. -L. -lplplot -ltclmatrix -L/home/mjl/gts/lib -litk3.2 -ltk8.3 -litcl3.2 -ltcl8.3 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ldl -lm -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/mjl/dev/plplot/latest/tmp' >> python_dynamic/Setup.in
cd python_dynamic ; make -s -f Makefile.pre.in boot ; make -s ; \
mv -f pyqt_plmodule.so ..
cat: /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Setup.config: No such file or directory
cat: /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Setup.config: No such file or directory

The python related packages I've got installed are:

rpheus$ rpm -qa |grep python
rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03
mod_python-2.7.6-1
python2-2.1.1-2
python-numpy-17.3.0-1suse
python-tools-1.5.2-35
python2-devel-2.1.1-2
python-devel-1.5.2-35
python-docs-1.5.2-35
python-xmlrpc-1.5.1-7.x.3
python-1.5.2-35

All the latest patched rpm's for 7.2 from a RedHat mirror site.  Note both
python1.5 and python2 come with RH 7.2 and don't interfere dependency-wise
so presumably they are supposed to coexist peacefully.

I haven't seen any other problems under 7.2 but I haven't done extensive
testing either.
