Summary: Building python 2.3.3 RPM on Mandrake 9.2. fails

Initial Comment:
The command (run as root)
$ rpm --rebuild python2.3-2.3.3-2pydotorg.src.rpm

yields the following (Two files not found)

RPM build errors:
    user jafo does not exist - using root
    group jafo does not exist - using root
    user jafo does not exist - using root
    group jafo does not exist - using root
    user jafo does not exist - using root
    group jafo does not exist - using root
    File not found:
/var/tmp/python2.3-2.3.3-root/usr/man/man1/python2.3.1.gz
    File not found:
/var/tmp/python2.3-2.3.3-root/usr/lib/python2.3/Tools/freeze/.cvsignore

Does that mean that your src.rpm file is not complete?
In the ../man/man1 directory, i have the file
python2.3.1.bz2. This does not match line 227 and  310
of the .spec file ???
changing gz in bz2 solves this problem (at least it seems)

In the .spec file, in the Tools section starting,  line
233, the variable %{_prefix} is used, but it seems it
should be %{__prefix} ??
Correcting __prefix yields another error 

what is the variable %{_bindir} pointing on? seems to
be /usr/bin, but no instanciation found in the spec file.
