Try this in %files: %exclude /path/to/stuff/*.py Note that if you're talking about a package intended for inclusion in Fedora, I suppose the reviewer of your package would ask you to include the *.py in the package (although I can't find inclusion of *.py explicitly mentioned in the cached copy of the Fedora Python guidelines I can access right now - maybe it should be added?). Also, *.pyo in addition to *.pyc should be included in your package.
