Title:
  python27 byte compile magic

Status in IUS Community Project:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
