You first want to make sure your setup.py correctly references your python scripts: http://docs.python.org/dist/node11.html The distutils package has a built-in bdist_rpm command that will create an installable RPM: http://docs.python.org/dist/module-distutils.command.bdistrpm.html So instead of running $ python setup.py install as you usually do, you would execute $ python setup.py bdist_rpm and in the directory where setup.py lives you should have a dist/ directory with an .rpm file ready to go. That's the easy part, if you have other related resource files, etc, you are going to need to study up on how to properly get them specified in your setup.py with distutils, but it's completely doable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
