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!
