I installed a minimal version of CentOS 6.3 on a virtual machine. I then used
yum install python to install python-2.6.6-29.e16_3.3.x86_64 to /usr/bin/. I have a custom python script that I wrote and I want to create an RPM of it including all python dependencies so that a centOS user can use rpm command to install my python script and all needed python libraries. Is this a common practice? It seems like the below command is the recommend approach, but I don’t have a setup.py file. Any ideas?

python setup.py bdist_rpm

    Are you sure you need RMP file to be used for installation? After querying for RMP in Google Search, it gave me RMP is a “RealPlayer Metadata Package File”. Which I am sure you are not looking for. However based on your other statements I can make out you are trying to create a rpm file which you want to distribute with all the dependencies, And for that you are using the command python setup.py bdist_rpm, This is usually the correct approach but the per-requisite is you need to create the setup.py. Refer to this link http://docs.python.org/release/2.0/dist/setup-script.html

    Which talks about how to create your own setup.py file.
