it's a command line argument of the "install" command: python setup.py install --prefix=~/ or python setup.py install --home=~/ (the difference between --home and --prefix is that the former will install library in $PREFIX/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages while the latter will install it in $PREFIX/lib/python/ -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France). http://www.logilab.com http://www.logilab.fr http://www.logilab.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
