Python build rpm from virtualenv

Question

I created an rpm via python setup.py bdist_rpm.

The above command was called inside a virtualenv.

The files in the rpm now contain the absolute path to the virtualenv:

/home/user/...path-to-virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

How to alter the paths? I want to install into /usr/lib.

Edit setup.cfg file (create it if it doesn't exist) and add following section to it

[install]
install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Thank you. Where is the official documentation of setup.cfg and its parameters and sections?

The first problem was solved (I used prefix=/usr to change the path). But there is still something wrong: rpm -qpR dist/foo-1.0.4-1.noarch.rpm requires: /home/user/...path-to-virtualenv/bin/python ... Help, how to solve this?

@guettli docs.python.org/2/distutils/… Create a .spec file or use command-line option --requires (you can put this into setup.cfg too!).

@guettli Also I use Ubuntu and mine rpms do not require python.

(test)vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-utopic-64:/tmp/requests-2.7.0$ rpm -qpR dist/requests-2.7.0-1.noarch.rpm rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
