First of all read up on how to properly build an RPM:

https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/11

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.spec

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
