Yes there has been lots of work in this area.

The openstack packages within EPEL explicitly select the parallel versions like: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-nova.git;a=blob_plain;f=openstack-nova-newdeps.patch;hb=el6 You can see the corresponding python-sqlalchemy0.7 and python-webob1.0 packages within EPEL. > python-wsgiref does not seem to exist in rhel6 (?)
