.mo files (probably in that version you have only that one .mo file) 
weren't marked as files which should be packaged, but an installer (in 
make install) copied it to the destination folder anyway.

I've never make a package for localized Python application, but probably 
it's similar to making a package for C/C++ localized application. If you 
have already .mo files (it seems you have) then standard Fedora approach 
with %find_lang macro should be enough:

In case of further problems please drop me a SPEC + current tar.gz, 
maybe I could do something more.
