The spec file in Misc/RPM has not been maintained in quite some time;
the last change to that file that wasn't just a version bump was one
[1] whose commit message was "#5776: fix mistakes in python specfile.
(Nobody probably uses it anyway.)" and was committed four and a half
years ago.  It's not unlikely that you're the first person to use the
file since then :).

We should probably just remove the file, but if you manage to get it
working and would like to provide a patch on bugs.python.org, it would
probably be accepted.
