It really looks as if the python path was not found ... (configure looks
for python path with this list : python2 python2.5 python2.4 python2.3
python2.2 python2.1 python2.0 python1.6 python1.5)
The python version in mageia is 2.7 !!!

if no python path is found configure may disable pylash building

You may look in the log and try to find :
build_pylash="disabled"
It may be disabled without warning !!! as it doesn't prevent from
building the other components
but when creating the rpm python-lash you have no file to put into it

Suppressing the line :
-%{python_sitelib}/*
in the spec file hides the symptom and provides an empty and useless rpm

That's my hypothesis but I'm not very able !
Maybe you may ask to an old packager !!!
