There is no need to rename python when using Distutils. It's enough
to specify python in the .pydistutils.cfg file (or setup.cfg),
e.g:

[bdist_rpm]
python=python2

and then run

python2 setup.py bdist_rpm

I had another problem with Distutils (or rpm?) though.
By default it uses privileges 0500 directories 
to be installed into site-packages... The same problem
with some Perl packages. (Maybe it's a matter of
umask of root).

Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
