bdist_rpm fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. python setup.py bdist_rpm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

EXPECTED::
+ python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build/lib
creating build/lib/httplib2
copying httplib2/__init__.py -> build/lib/httplib2
copying httplib2/iri2uri.py -> build/lib/httplib2
+ exit 0

ACTUAL RESULT::
+ python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'python2/httplib2' does not exist
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.50855 (%build)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest check-in on any RPM based distro (Fedora/RHEL/Centos etc.)

Please provide any additional information below.

I believe that the RPM isn't being generated correctly with the new python2
and python3 subdirectories. I'm not a huge user of python distutils...but
I'll try to look and see if I can fix.

I ran into more or less the same situation and I wonder if there is a known 
solution. In my case, it says "error: package direcotry 'python2\httplib2' does 
ont exist" and it stops there.
I have Python2.4 and 2.5 installed in the same computer, and have used httplib2 
successfully with 2.4. It seems the module cannot install into python 2.5?

I'm having the same problem. You can build an RPM like this:

1. Copy the content of python2/* to .
2. Edit setup.py and comment out the line "package_dir=pkgdir," in the setup 
function.

I have been able to build an RPM then.
