I think they bundle Python 2.4.5 (!!)
There are some relevant tickets in their trac:
http://www.xbmc.org/trac/ticket/7754 (includes a patch to make xbmc work
with python 2.6 - I haven't verified or even looked at this patch yet)
http://www.xbmc.org/trac/ticket/7785 (patch to fix a python 2.6 crash)
Thoses part
are rather new, That would be better to add them so that
will be part of the QA and the review.
Also a couple of other potential problems with XBMC and RPM Fusion:
1) We have to exclude libdvdcss support :(
This can be kicked out as this library
is meant to be dlopened by libdvdread
2) RPM Fusion ffmpeg doesn't inlcude libfaac support :(
so
nor XBMC from RPMFusion, but this feature shouldn't be needed by
anyone over flac, or ogg support isn't it !
