Try:
%install
%{_python3} setup.py install --prefix=%{_prefix} --root=%{buildroot}
%{_python3} expands to /usr/bin/python3; I think on your system
python3 in "python3 setup.py...." resolves to /bin/python3 which
explains the wrong requires added to the package.
Try examining your $PATH env var, maybe /bin/ is precedes /usr/bin/ on
your system?
Ahmad,
Thank you for this. This was it.
