error: Failed dependencies: /usr/local/bin/python is needed by python24-2.4.4-0.i386
There's probably some documentation or example script which references /usr/local/bin/python in the shebang. This might get pulled in as a dependency during the automatic requirement processing.
You might have to remove this reference. There was a problem like that with perl-Config-General in rpmforge, where some documentation triggered a dependency on perl(Carp::Heavy).
Cheers,

I found it! The file /pythonroot/lib/python2.4/cgi.py starts with "#! /usr/local/bin/python" and goes on to say in the comments that it's not a mistake. I found that in the stock CentOS Python 2.3, the file is also there, but was patched to point at the installed Python. So, I just did a substitution in my install section of the spec file and the RPM will now install.
Thanks everyone for your replies!
