rpmbuild brp-python-bytecompile does not honor %{__python} in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Developers can specify a different python interpreter by defining the __python macro.
  • Although brp-python-bytecompile can use a custom python interpreter specified as $1, the default __os_install_post macro neglects to do so.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
  • redhat-rpm-config
