If you don't need the Python bindings, you can try removing the Python support
from the .spec file after installing(!) the SRPM. Add a "--without-python" at
the configure line. Then repackage the RPM ("-bs" IIRC)

If you need the Python bindings, consider doing the above and installing
"lxml" instead.
