I've attached a script called zopespec.  zopespec works similarly to 
(and probably could be merged with) rpmdev-newspec.  You run it and give 
it a package name.  This can be zope.copy, zope-copy or zope-copy.spec.

Given the name "zope-copy", zopespec looks up the latest version from 
pypi.python.org, downloads it and extracts a bunch of metadata.  This 
metadata gets substituted into the spec that is created.  It should be 
generally speaking functional, but of course the generated spec needs to 
be reviewed by a human.  Let me know if you have any thoughts.
