That might work for arch-dependent Python extensions, and most likely
not for arch-independent ones on x86_64.

The latter should obviously be %{python_sitearch}.  But yes, it should
work.

Note that in the majority of cases, it's not a matter of individual
_files_, but complete Python extension _packages_.

So, if a tarball you're creating contains *any* arch-dependent stuff,
all of it, not only the arch-dependent bits, will probably land in %
{python_sitearch} (ie. what distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(1)
returns).
