The cooker x86_64 package stores its python module files in
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, x86_64 python expects them to be
in /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages .

That's a general problem that hit me several times. "noarch" - packages are
no longer architecture independant when they store files in different paths 
depending on which architecture they are built.
