How about putting installing the "archivemail" file as
/usr/share/archivemail/archivemail.py (chmod 644), then writing a small Python
wrapper script to import that module and run the main() method? Something like:

------------
#!/usr/bin/python
if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/share/archivemail')
    from archivemail import main
    main()
------------

Not only will this solve your test_archivemail.py problem (with _little_
tweaking), it doesn't clutter up /usr/bin and would actually give you a (very)
small performance boost as the Python interpreter will only parse and process
the text of your small startup script but will use the precompiled byte-code
.pyc file of archivemail, rather than having to re-parse this large file every
time it's executed. 

Also, is it actually necessary to package the project's unit tests in the final
binary RPM? If I wanted that, i would go for the src.rpm, but maybe that's just
me...
