It is well suited. You can also do far simpler (and far smaller setups) like this: mkdir -p $HOME/lib/python and in your environment (eg $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile) add: PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib/python:$PYTHON_PATH export PYTHONPATH and simply install (copy) packages into that directory. This is conceptually the same as having a $HOME/bin with commands or your own in it, etc. If you're getting your packages from pypi, virutalenv may be easier to use in the long run. besides, it lets you make multiple environments for different flavours of Python (2 vs 3, etc).
