While getting one of my packages rejected for inclusion into the python lang repo for openSuSE, the comments made by the reviewer pointed me to find the package: py2pack.
This package made the packaging of Python packages on OpenSuSE brain dead easy by doing all of the heavy lifting, creating a sample spec file that really needs very little editing. Install py2pack, and follow this guide, http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Python#The_fast_and_automated_way and put that together with the great openSuSE build service and you will have a great time packaging which is usually a thankless job no one wants to do.
Update:
Wow the ruby packaging method is about the same too: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Ruby

Hi, I'm glad you like it :-) BTW, there is also 'cpanspec' for the Perl side of life.
As we build with the same python version as the user will run it later.you can safely package the.pyc files. i would even recommend packaging them so they get removed if you uninstall the package.
