I am using the spec file that comes with Python source code which downloaded from python.org website
Ah, sorry, I didn't realize that. My advice still stands; while there are Red Hat/Fedora/other-RPM-based distro workers here, I don't know if any of them actually have anything to do with RPM-building. And I've been following this list for over 10 years -- this is the first I've heard of problems with the .spec in the Python sources, so I suspect Zach is right: you're the first person to use the thing in half a decade. The Python project itself doesn't distribute RPMs as far as I can see.
Yes, there are people here who do everything around distro RPM-building here :) AFAIK no RPM based distribution uses the specfile from the Python tarball. Our specfiles (Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux) are much more complex to satisfy all the downstream policies and such. In case you're interested, you can have a look at our current python3.spec [1]. Feel free to reuse it (all Fedora specfiles are licensed under MIT license unless noted otherwise).
This is like no support.
Unfortunately, yes. I know I don't have the knowledge to help fix the .spec file, and I don't even know who to tell you to ask in the project.
I can help with RPM related questions (it'd probably be best to ask them privately, since their offtopic for this list), but I have pretty much zero knowledge of AIX - so I won't be able to help you with AIX-specific issues. -- Regards, Slavek Kabrda [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python3.git/tree/python3.spec
