Actually, I now think my description is wrong; I now think the definition of
__os_install_post comes from /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros (from our downstream
redhat-rpm-config rpm).

I'll send a patch to add a %{__python} argument there, which should cover
building rpms on top of this one; they should be able to a
  %define __python /usr/bin/python3
and rpmbuild should then bytecompile .py files in those rpms with that binary.

I don't think doing so covers the case of this core python3 package though, so
maybe we still need the current workaround (we'd have to somehow define
%{__python} to be the freshly-built python3.1, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc,
which I don't see how to do sanely)
