Don't do that. Install rpmdevtools so you build it under your home
directory and avoid blowing up your system if there's an error.
First of all read up on how to properly build an RPM:

Since this is python look up the Fedora python guidelines and follow those.
Here's the spec for a recent python library I packaged:
https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-ntlm3.git/tree/python-ntlm3....
If you don't need python3 you can strip that stuff out ...
The Fedora python guidelines have a decent spec template you can crib, keep in mind the el6 caveats if you need to build for that with regards to macro definitions
