i have no experience on building an rpm package (no idea on what a spec file 
is), but i did quite some work for the deb package.

this looks like almost the right command line to me. you only need to add an 
INST_PYMOD variable.

the debian/rules file uses:
	make install prefix=$USR_TMPDIR INST_PYMOD=$PYTHON_TMPDIR

that should be sufficient.

i don't understand. this works using 'make prefix=$USR_TMPSRC' from the 
command line. are you sure that the rpm build tool uses the right make 
command line?
