This simple Distutils patch allows choosing the name of the rpm built by
bdist_rpm.
It leaves the name of the source tarball alone, and changes the name of
the resulting spec file and rpm.

It was tested with distutils nightlies, and applies to at least python
2.5 through 2.7dev .

Can you explain the reason why you need to change the distribution name,
and not use the name+version metadata to do it ?

Thanks

In most cases, a distribution named "foo" becomes and rpm named
"python-foo", so it can't be the same name for both.

I'm using bdist_rpm to generate rpms from eggs I didn't write myself, so
an option to give external control works best.
