FWIW, I tried the same thing with Python 3 sources on Fedora 18, and got the same error as you. But, where did you get the idea that you could build Python RPMs using $python setup.py bdist_rpm ? I thought that was only limited to building RPMs for python packages (including extensions), but not the Python interpreter itself. Please correct me if i am wrong. Okay, here is something for you to try in the meantime. Download the Python 2.7 SRPM (source RPM) from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=130. May be the F17 version. Extract it to get the source files, patches and the SPEC file. If you are familiar with building RPM packages by hand, please try building it like any other package. That is, by copying the .spec file to SPECS and the .patch, .xz and other files in SOURCES and then doing rpmbuild -ba python.spec from the SPECS directory. Oh yes, please install the dependencies for building the package first by doing, yum-builddep <your SRPM location> before doing the build. It seems like it built the RPMs alright on my laptop. See if that helps.
