The old 'python-kmod' pkg works for me:

[agrover@work ~/.../python/kmod ((fac4d09...))]$ ipython

In [1]: import kmod

In [2]: km = kmod.Kmod()

In [3]: sc = list(km.lookup("soundcore"))[0]

In [4]: sc.path
Out[4]: u'/lib/modules/3.13.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko'

but when I try to use the new stuff:

[agrover@work ~/.../python/kmod ((fac4d09...))]$ 
PYTHONPATH="/home/agrover/git/kmod/libkmod/python/kmod/.libs" ipython

In [1]: import kmod
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-ff824b795612> in <module>()
----> 1 import kmod

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initkmod)

Is this what you're seeing as well?
