This is interesting! FWIW, I tried to get the SRPM and build Python 2.7 on RHEL 5. Quickly realized that it lacks, yum-builddep, yumdownloader, etc :-/ So, just left it there for then.

But, where did you get the idea that you could build Python RPMs using $python setup.py bdist_rpm ? I thought that was only limited to building RPMs for python packages (including extensions), but not the Python interpreter itself. Please correct me if i am wrong. Okay, here is something for you to try in the meantime. Download the Python 2.7 SRPM (source RPM) from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=130. May be the F17 version. Extract it to get the source files, patches and the SPEC file. If you are familiar with building RPM packages by hand, please try building it like any other package. That is, by copying the .spec file to SPECS and the .patch, .xz and other files in SOURCES and then doing rpmbuild -ba python.spec from the SPECS directory. Oh yes, please install the dependencies for building the package first by doing, yum-builddep before doing the build. It seems like it built the RPMs alright on my laptop. See if that helps.

I suspect a suitably setup virtualenv will also avoid your problem, but is obviously more work than what Hugo's suggested.

Unfortunately Red Hat is slow to update their package versions; even the most recent RHEL6 comes with Python 2.6.

No matter which version you execute the first one with, the bash script generated will always try to use the system-default python. This is essentially a bug in the setup script; it should generate a script that uses the same python version it was executed with, ideally. The easiest workaround I can think of is a temporary alias, i.e.: $ alias python="python27" && python setup.by bdist_rpm && unalias python Or some variation of such. The more permanent fix is to change the bash script that setup.py generates so it's less naive about having the right system python installed, *or* upgrading the system python version.

Ok, so I'm now attempting a "clean room" installation using Python 2.7.3 to build the RPM.
