I want to create RPM spec file that lets the user build the RPM with an
alternate prefix - e.g.
rpmbuild -D '_prefix /opt/whatever' -bb package.spec
That results in in the python files being placed in
/opt/whatever/lib/pythonN/site-packages and
/opt/whatever/%{_lib}/pythonN/site-packages
Those directories are outside of the default python search path.
I could leave it up to the user to add them, but its nice when
installing a package just works (hence why we can put files in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d for example) without the user needing to fuss too much.
When the user builds with a different prefix, there likely will be
several different packages that put python stuff in that prefix, so a
meta package they require that adds to the search path is what I am
thinking, that both adds to the python when installed and removes it
from the python search path when removed.

So you want to build something independent of the system python? Is
virtualenv and / or anaconda interesting here?

Hello,
Working on a project to create clean spec files for libbitcoin for CentOS
7 (and eventually I want them to work in Fedora 25+ too)
These spec files must work with the user defines an alternate %{_prefix}
before building them.
This means that python components would be installed in /opt/libbitcoin
(or whatever) instead of in /usr so %{python2_sitelib} and
%{python2_sitearch} no longer would apply.
sys.path.append looks like the way to tell python about a new path to look
for stuff, but I'm guessing there are guidelines somewhere for how that is
suppose to properly done from within spec files.
Unfortunately I can't find them, and search engines are getting harder and
harder to use to find technical related information, always changing my
query and showing me completely unrelated results.
Anyway I didn't see anything in the Fedora packaging guidelines for
python, that seems to be targeting a prefix of /usr
Thanks for any links or suggestions.
