Have now installed a new KDE64 in a new partition. When installing using src only option, the install insists on fetching Python 2.6. No change from my earlier testing.
Then I decided to explore using rpm,src option, as I wanted to see if this would attempt to search the installation database to find acceptable file versions.
I am just showing a snippet from the python install, the local rpm ignored

As it can be seen the python will be found from external location.
Question: Where is the determination made that local rpm not good enough. Is this in the file: /sandbox-3/pybombs/mod_pybombs/sysutils.py?
