[Vobject] RPM Build error with vobject-0.7.1

[Jeffrey Harris]

Hi Bill,

You can't send to the list without subscribing, but I get the rejected 
emails.

Unfortunately, I don't know what's going wrong here.  change_tz should 
import fine even if PyICU isn't available on your system, and once 
imported it ought to write a .pyc file (.pyc files are byte-compiled 
versions of the source, they're automatically generated by the 
interpreter when a .py file is opened).

I don't know enought about bdist_rpm to know what's going wrong, does 
anyone else on the list know?  If you do, be sure to cc: Bill Barnard, 
since he's not on the list ;)

Sincerely,
Jeffrey

I looked around in a very cursory way but didn't see any way to specify that any file should be compiled. Anyway I'm going to get the 0.7.0 version since I don't need the change_tz functionality. You probably know exactly what to do to fix this.
