Yes, I did. I even double checked it on my system and still typed it wrong...

I have rpm-python-4.3.3-18_nonptl installed.

I don't think your error has anything to do with SELinux, per se.

indicates to me that a library is missing or can't be found. What does 

  ldd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so

tell you?

And now you know why upgrades between major versions are not supported ;-)
