Hello. I am one of the maintainers for that collection so feel free to ping me directly, either on IRC or mail. Sorry for the complications you are facing, bootstrapping the interpreter to an rpm is indeed a quite complex procedure and it could be documented better. I will try to outline the steps with some explanations. Firstly, python bundles pip and setuptools, so ideally we'd like python to utilize the system installed packages instead of the bundled ones. What happens is that we first compile python including the bundled wheels (that's when we set the 'rewheel' macro to 0). Then we'd like to build pip and setuptools in the wheel [0] format so they can be utilized by python. However we still do not have the 'wheel' package built in order to do that, so we'll have to (byte)compile them the usual way, then compile wheel, and then build again python and setuptools as wheels. So you should set the build_wheel macro in python-pip's and python-setuptools' SPEC file to 0, build them and then build the python-wheel package. Then after you have built python-wheel, rebuild python-pip and python-setuptools with the build_wheel macro macro set to 1, as we can create the wheel format now since we have the wheel package on our system. Finally rebuild python with rewheel set to 1 in order for python to strip the bundled wheels and utilize the system installed ones (with a little bit of magic [1]. Long story short: 1. Build python with rehweel set to 0. 2. Build python-setuptools and python-pip with build_wheel set to 0. 3. Build python-wheel. 4. Build python-setuptools and python-pip with build_wheel set to 1. 5. Build python with rehweel set to 1. I hope that helps (and I hope I didn't forget any steps :) ).
