This method assumes that %{_bindir} is two directory levels down from the root
directory, which is OK for Fedora but might cause issues for people wanting to
use the package elsewhere (e.g. with %{_bindir} = /usr/site/bin etc.)

A simple way to avoid the problem is to create the symlink as absolute within
the buildroot and then use the symlinks utility to convert it to an optimized
relative link:

ln -s %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/src/main.py %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}
symlinks -cs %{buildroot}%{_bindir}

Result on Fedora:
/usr/bin/pypar2 -> ../share/pypar2/src/main.py

If you take this approach, you'll need to add symlinks as a buildrequire.
