I did as you said, and using Python 2.1.3 got the following error:
python setup.py bdist_rpm
running bdist_rpm
Traceback (most recent call last):

I went ahead and changed line 353 in bdist_rpm.py from

'Copyright: ' + self.distribution.get_license(),

to

'Copyright: n/a',

and it worked.   I looked like the older version of bdist_rpm.py would=20
have had
the same problem, however, as it also calls get_license().  Any ideas?
