The postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm contains the exact same tarball as is
distributed as postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz. HOWEVER, the python build
process for the RPM is quite different from that of the python
makefile. Thomas Lockhart did it -- and I haven't changed it much.

D'Arcy, can you take a look at what the RPM does and tell me how far off
the mark I am, as I am not a Python user? If you want the exact
incantationsI'm using to build the client, I can provide that
information.

But, the source code is the same.
