Public bug reported:

After building a package, RHEL calls the __os_install_post macro, which
invokes brp-python-bytecompile to create .pyc/.pyo files if needed.
Without an argument, brp-python-bytecompile would erroneously use the
system python instead of the python for which you are building a
package, resulting in .pyc/.pyo files with an ABI version corresponding
to the system python.  brp-python-bytecompile was later updated to
intelligently use the python(s) for which you are building a package
[0].  This change was made in time to be included in EL6 (rpm >=
4.7.1-8), but EL5 is still affected.

We currently only build python27 and python31 for EL5.  Since python 3.1
is EOL this month [1], we will not be correcting the issue for those
packages.  For all existing python27 packages, we have corrected this by
overriding the __os_install_post macro.  More details can be found in
the comments of the python27 spec file [2].

Not affected (build from main python27 rpm):
python27
python27-debug
python27-devel
python27-libs
python27-test

Updated:
python27-backports
python27-backports-ssl_match_hostname
python27-setuptools
python27-mod_wsgi
python27-pip
python27-wheel
python27-virtualenv
python27-psutil
python27-lxml

The updated builds are already in the testing repos.  Please evaluate
these and let us know of any issues.
