It's not a rpmbuild problem but a problem with the program you're building. The best practice solution is to put this[1] script in your spec file to automatically replace the shebangs with "#!/usr/bin/env python". Depending on where the offending python scripts are located you may have to adjust where it looks for scripts but it should do the trick.
