[Fedora-packaging] Python Packaging Hints

[Jeff Pitman]

Hi:

Just some hints for packaging Python (iow, makes my life easier at 
http://python.org/pyvault).

1. Use %{__python} as opposed to python in any scriptlets. Especially be 
wary of the %pyver definitions using a call to python to grab the 
version.

2. Also, I need opinions on #!/usr/bin/python  vs.  
#!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y.  Because if a package installs 
into /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, then any old /usr/bin/python 
won't work, it'd have to be the version specific /usr/bin/pythonX.Y.  
This might be a problem specific to my stuff, so you can ignore it if 
it is.

thoughts?
