Thanks for reporting this.

I can confirm this problem is present in the fedora/rhel/centos package.
Though for me, on x86_64 it is placed in:

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/unboundmodule.py

I can confirm linking it in /etc/unbound resolves this.

I changed the %configure from using  --with-pythonmodule to use:

      --with-pythonmodule=%{python_sitearch}

which expands to:

     --with-pythonmodule=/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages

but it seems unbound still places the files in the wrong location when
running "make install" and places the sitearch files in the sitelib
directory

Makefile.inc shows:

         $(INSTALL) -c -m 644 pythonmod/unboundmodule.py $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHON_SITE_PKG)/unboundmodule.py

PYTHON_SITE_PKG is set to:

  python -c "import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0);"
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

However, the unbound daemon does not seem to look there......

Note that /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_unbound.so.2.12.0 also seems to be in the 32 instead of
the 64 bit location....

A grep shows me :

[paul at bofh unbound-1.4.12rc1]$ grep get_python_lib *
acx_python.m4:                        print '-L' + get_python_lib(0,1), \
acx_python.m4:                        '-L' + os.path.dirname(get_python_lib(0,1)), \
acx_python.m4:                        print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0);"`
configure:                        print '-L' + get_python_lib(0,1), \
configure:                        '-L' + os.path.dirname(get_python_lib(0,1)), \
configure:                        print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0);

The first argument to get_python_lib is a boolean for plat_specific=
If I change that to 1, then it seems the files are installed in their
right locations:

[root at bofh unbound]# rpm -ql unbound-python
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_unbound.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_unbound.so.2
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_unbound.so.2.12.0

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/unboundmodule.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/unboundmodule.pyo

but it seems the python module still fails to initialise:

Jul 21 22:59:47 libunbound[846:0] notice: init module 1: python
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

The search path in strace of unbound-host shows:

and then finally /etc/unbound/

I'm not sure yet why it is not searching in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ first

I also think that the value for --with-pythonmodule seems to be lost during make install
