Actually I'm aware that my approach is very limited - luckily I have an 
extremely simple use case. So I don't want to deal with file ownership or 
complicated binaries at all. It is only about Python modules, most of them 
don't contain any compiled code.

So my idea was that I don't need a real chroot (sorry for the misleading 
title) but 'just' need to tell yum that it should look in a different location 
for configuration and the rpmdb and install the things in a separate location.

But I'll take a look how mock does the whole setup.
