I kind of like this, but don't quite understand how you would use it.
You're presuming the package is called "spyder"? or "python-spyder"? what=
 is the subpackage here?

Trouble with %files -f is that there is no good way to process the fileli=
st -- it is generated at
build time, but singlespec macros run at preprocessing time.
A solution might be having a separate step in the %install section that w=
ould generate/convert the
separate filelists?

That probably can be done. Please file a bug at github.com/opensuse/pytho=
n-rpm-macros

There's an existing bug for %find_lang. %lang_package probably can be fol=
ded under that.
