Yeah, I know you got that one.  Mine is a slight modification using a 
%{python} macro which expands to python24/23/22 driven by the build 
system. If it's not defined it defaults to python. I'll post linkage to 
specs, etc. after I test stuff. (I also like to do anything in my power 
to avoid a rebuild of the entire lib.  Just configure and then run 
distutils build in the python directory.)

I've been coordinating with jbj and pnasrat on it. Much smaller and 
builds fast.  Mainly a convenience issue for me.  Also, it builds 
against the rpmlib installed externally instead of relying on the 
topdir. This allows one to build against whatever rpm was distributed 
for a particular release.

So, it's got a similar goal to your rpm-python, but with some tweaks to 
it.
