Python build rpm from virtualenv

Question

I created an rpm via python setup.py bdist_rpm .

The above command was called inside a virtualenv.

The files in the rpm now contain the absolute path to the virtualenv:

/home/user/...path-to-virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

How to alter the paths? I want to install into /usr/lib .

Answer 1

Edit setup.cfg file (create it if it doesn't exist) and add following section to it

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