<pre wrap="">I had a bug filed that a Python package I'm maintaining cannot be
rebuilt using 'rpmbuild --rebuild'. The failure was that the *.pyc
and *.pyo files are missing.
After a lot of head-scratching and debugging it turns out that
brp-python-bytecompile was not running, and that happens because the
RPM macro %{__os_install_post} didn't contain a call to
brp-python-bytecompile. This macro exists in base RPM, but is
overridden/extended when redhat-rpm-config is installed.
Installing redhat-rpm-config fixes the problem for the bug reporter

I noticed some odd things about the whole brp-python* setup : for
instance, there are two very similar versions of
brp-python-hardlink: one from rpm-build-4.11.1-3.fc19.x86_64 and
another from redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0-46.1.fc19.noarch ; they seem to
be doing the same thing, the only difference is <br>
< pyo="${pyc%c}o"<br>
---<br>
> pyo="$(echo $pyc | sed -e 's/.pyc$/.pyo/')"<br>
<br>
No big deal but it looks like someone who knows this area should
review and/or clean it up.<br>
