-If you prefer to install RPMs, you can use the bdist_rpm command with
-setup.py. This only builds the RPM; it does not install it. You may
-want to use the --python=XXX option, where XXX is the name of the
-Python executable, i.e. python, python2, python2.4; the default is
-python. Using this will incorporate the Python executable name into
