Review:

MUST items
- no rpmlint output for srpm
- package naming ok for python module
- spec file name matches package name
- packaging guidelines are met
- license tag in spec file is 'MIT', upstream names it 'MIT' in setup.py but
  actual license text included in the package is 3 clause BSD (without 
  advertising).

=> I'm not quite what we should do here. At least the license tag in the spec
   file must be updated (3 clause BSD is acceptable for Fedora) but to be sure
   we should ask upstream under what license the code is placed.

Furthermore, there are some file in the package which do use a form of MIT 
license:
* beaker/converters.py uses MIT / "Modern Style with sublicense", no license text
  only referenced URL
* beaker/crypto/pbkdf2.py uses MIT / "Old Style with legal disclaimer 3"
  (variant names taken from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/MIT)

What should we do with them? The most part of the code is BSD(?, see above). I
think RPM does only accept a single license tag.

- license text (BSD) is separate file named LICENSE, included in %doc
- spec file written in English and is legible
- sources match upstream (md5sum 9e474576e948d7f80ce238d31c80ade3)
- package builds in mock on x86_64 for Fedora 8
- buildreqs OK
- no shared libraries, static libraries, header files, pkgconfig files, or
  locale files
- package doesn't claim to be relocatable
- directory ownership OK
- no duplicate files
- %defattr(...) present and correct in %files section
- %clean section present and correct
- %install section properly cleans buildroot first
- macro usage is ok
- package does only contain code
- runtime does not depend on docs
- no GUI, therefore no .desktop file
- filenames are all ascii

SHOULD items:
- builds in mock
- package is a library but basic functional test passed
- no file dependencies


Paul Howarth suggest for my own python package that I use a more specific file
list ("%{python_sitelib}/beaker*", ...) which seems to be a good idea for your 
package too:
"this helps catch future changes that create extra files in the package, which
you might want to document further in the changelog etc."
