I agree, Paul, that my question may sound somewhat heterodox. However,
the idea came to me when I tried to create a rpm of the last version
of tovid:

http://tovid.berlios.de/

To create the rpm of the main part of tovid, I followed the usual
procedure (configure --> make --> checkinstall), but there was another
part of tovid, written in python, that I had to install too. The
creation of the respective rpm (of that second part of tovid) had to
follow a different procedure (specific to software written in python).
Then I thought that it would be convenient to have the whole tovid in
a single rpm, which motivated my question.
