/usr/bin/python3.3 not found from brp-scl-python-bytecompile during mock build

Question

I'm trying to build python33-python-virtualenv under CentOS6. I'm currently just trying to rebuild the current version as present in: https://www.softwarecollections.org/repos/rhscl/python33/epel-6-x86_64/python33-python-virtualenv-1.10.1-1.el6.src.rpm

I'm getting an error: /usr/lib/rpm/brp-scl-python-bytecompile: line 47: /usr/bin/python3.3: No such file or directory

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

NB: I'm doing this in a mock environment, with scl defined to python33.

You need to have a 'python33-build' package installed in mock every time you build a sub-package of the python33 collection. You need to modify the mock config as follows:

replace: config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @buildsys-build'

with: config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install @build scl-utils-build python33-build'

Generally, there need to be a '-build' package installed every time you build a sub-package for that collection. The '-build' package is built from the meta package source. In this specific case it would come from python33 source: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/rhscl/python33-el7/build/27227/
