How to remove auto generated python dependency?

Hi,

A package I maintain (mc) has two rarely-used
python scripts.

Since they have #!/usr/bin/python header, build machinery
automatically adds python dependency.

But I don't want this to happen - the program is very much
usable without python too. Requiring python pulls in a top
of other stuff which isn't needed.

How can I suppress this in the specfile?

AutoReqProv seems to be a too strong medicine - I would like
to blacklist only python dep.
