Sounds to me more like he is looking to package some other in house
software, as opposed to packaging python specific libraries, etc...

I think you can just provide a blank spec file for them to 'fill in the
blanks', however, using a GUI would be tricky since some parts of the spec
file you typically wouldn't be able to complete until after attempting to
build a few times (eg, %file section).

Doing an apt-cache search on my Ubuntu desktop results with a project,
Spectacle, coincidentally written in Python. (I haven't really looked into
it):
http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/spectacle

When you have your spec files made, I'd recommend using this service to
build your RPMS: https://build.opensuse.org/
