I'm the one creating the rpm :) I enclose the spec file.
What it does is this:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install -O1 --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT \
     --record=INSTALLED_FILES.tmp

In INSTALLED_FILES.tmp I cannot see any pth file, so it is not included in 
the rpm, as thes are the files it will include.

You are right, no pth file included, not a single one.

How can I make the pth appear when executing the "python setup.py install" 
command? Should I execute something else? I'm using the standard Fedora 
template for creating python rpms.

Thanks a lot for your help!
