I'm trying to build it in /root/rpmbuild.

To echo Frank's advice: don't do that. Build rpms as a non-root user. Consider using "mock", especially if you intend to distribute your packages.

Python has a way to build it,
but it creates its own tree, with a clone of the rpmbuild tree under
*that*.

It sounds like you're using "setup.py bdist_rpm". When you do that, python's setuptools will create a temporary rpm build environment in ./build/. You should also get the src.rpm in ./dist/

If you want to build the package in your own rpmroot, just take the src.rpm from ./dist/ and rebuild it.
