I think the Platform should be that of the guest (i.e. x86_64 Linux). Googling for "undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct" gets a lot of matches, BTW. Is it possible an essential package didn't get installed? Maybe look at the log files in /root, or run "package-cleanup --problems" to look for dependency problems in the RPM database.
You may need to remove xulrunner-python package. see Bug 639985.
