I'm afraid I've opened Pandora's box here ;o)

But let's go back to our dependencies hell:
        
        building gcmd:
                python>=2.3
                python-devel>=2.3
                
        python plugins (runtime):
                python>=2.3
                gnome-python2-gnomevfs
                pygtk (python-gtk2) only for GUI
        
Because python plugins are executed at runtime you need not have
python-*-dev packages at all.
