@shortdudey123 try adding this to the top of the spec:

%global _python_bytecompile_errors_terminate_build 0

[dsem]

I have the same error and adding the %global as suggested resolved it.

[shortdudey123]

Solved it for me too
(Sorry thought i had already commented back on this)

[mehulrprajapati]
