I set up pylucene and installed it in the standard fashion. That

I ran make from the virtualenv and it worked, but when I try to make
install, it
tries to put it in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
I saw a suggestion from Andi about using --home, but I'm not sure
where to put
it. Is that what needs to be done? Do I have to build jcc from the
virtualenv
as well? In other words, where do I start when putting things in my
virtualenv? Can I copy from dist-packages?
I use virtualenv a lot as I have to have a bunch of branches/configs
available on the same machine.
I always use the python executable that's installed in the virtualenv.
You need to make sure that's also the case in the PyLucene Makefile by
editing the section corresponding to your platform to make it so
(PREFIX_PYTHON).
I also always build jcc into the virtualenv first although that
shouldn't strictly be necessary since virtualenv normally inherits
modules from its origin.
Andi..
