I think I've found the problem: Comparing with an Ubuntu installation, I 
see that there needs to be a soft link in /usr/lib64 from the 
libqgispython.so.x.x to libqgispython.so. Once I added the link, python 
worked.
I guess package maintainers might need to add this in the postinstall.

Thanks,
Micha
