The short answer is "No", as Fedora/RHEL/EPEL/CentOS RPMs aren't built that way.
The longer answer is to not use bdist_rpm, and instead use an RPM
skeleton generator like pyp2rpm:
https://github.com/fedora-python/pyp2rpm
That was originally written by some of the Python package maintainers
at Red Hat, so the Fedora RPM template is pretty good.
Alternatively, if the project you're making RPMs for is open source,
you may want to take a look at Fedora's COPR service:
https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/screenshots_tutorial.html#screenshots-tutorial
There's a "PyPI" source option that will download the artifacts from
PyPI, run pyp2rpm, and create the RPM and repo for you from that. If
you do decide to go down that path, then
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/
would be the best place to contact for more info/assistance.
Cheers,
Nick.
