How to rpm execute python script

I have to develop a RPM package that merge some files, checking for existing files and directories, renaming files etc..

I developed a python script that do it, so executing python3 my_script.py it works perfectly.

Now I have to create a RPM package that should execute the python script.

I looked for rpmbuild, but when I install the RPM nothing appens, maybe I'm on the wrong way.

Any suggestions or web tutorials?

Thanks

I solved my problem thanks to some guides and tutorials I found on the net, this is a sample .spec that generates a .rpm which save installation files under /opt/mytest directory:

Name:           mytest
Version:        1.0
Release:        1%{?dist}
Summary:        A test script

Group:          Utilities
License:        GPL
URL:            http://www.mypage.com
Source0:        mytest-1.0.tar.gz
BuildArch:      noarch
BuildRoot:      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

%description    A test script inside a simple RPM package

%prep
%setup -q

%build

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/mytest
install app.py $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/mytest/app.py

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%files
%dir /opt/mytest
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
/opt/mytest/app.py
/opt/mytest/app.pyc
/opt/mytest/app.pyo

%post
chmod 755 -R /opt/mytest
cd /opt/mytest
python3 app.py
