I haven't read the bugzilla entry nor had my tea yet today, but here's
what I've done for some python apps:

#!/bin/sh
sitelib=`python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"`
exec python $sitelib/appdir/appname.py "$@"

Replace appdir and appname appropriately, put it in /usr/bin/appname,
and make it executable.  If the software you are packaging installs
arch dependent files, you will probably need to replace the sitelib
call to:

sitelib=`python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib(1)"`

Notice the 1 in get_python_lib() there.  That tells python to return
the arch specific lib dir.
