That's cool with me, just thought I'd mention it...

When I think further about it, wonder if it wasn't
me that added those paths myself last time I tinkered :-)
Either way, it's a symlink over to the actual location:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/include/ 
python2.3
The actual RPM module eventually ends up installed in:
/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/rpm

So nothing to change or see here, just little Mac quirks.
