 I'm not sure what this is trying to prove, the above is a packaging/yum/rpm problem (which was fixed, IIRC).  Also, again IIRC, it also has nothing to do with code being written in python but because audit-libs-python / libselinux-python (which just provide _bindings_ to the C API, and I don't think you are trying to suggest we should remove those bindings) depend on an exact python-abi and audit-libs / libselinux versions.
