No dice.

[scarolan at titania:~/Python-2.7.3]$ alias | grep python
alias python='/usr/local/bin/python2.7'

[scarolan at titania:~/Python-2.7.3]$ /usr/local/bin/python2.7 setup.py
bdist_rpm
error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14555 (%build)
RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14555 (%build)
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

Has anyone on this list successfully built a python 2.7 RPM using this
command?
python2.7 setup.py bdist_rpm

If so, what was your secret?
