in the past it was evaluating to

    Requires:       python-modules >= 2.5 < 2.6

(assuming that you python 2.5 is installed)

who changed that and why... i have no idea. having the pyrequires_eq macro
in current state is pointless.

see

    cvs log rpm-macros.python
    cvs up -r 1.4 rpm-macros.python
