bdist_rpm from Ubuntu to CentOs

We develop on Ubuntu/Macs and deploy RPMs to CentOS (this is the settings, can't be changed much).

The problem is that when installing from the rpm, the packages go to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (which is the right location for Ubuntu). However the default python path in CentOS is looking at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

Is there a way to tell bdist_rpm where to install the files to?

You can use a setup.cfg file to override the Python lib install path:

setup.cfg:

[install]
install-lib=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Example:

% python setup.py bdist_rpm
% rpm -qpl dist/foo-0.0.0-1.noarch.rpm | grep foo

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/foo/__init__.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/foo/__init__.pyc
