If you want to install packages into Sage's Python run "./sage -sh"
before using the 'normal' install mechanism to install the python
package, i.e. "python setup.py install" will then install into Sage's
python.
In theory you should be able to set PYTHONPATH and pull in packages
from another Python install, but in some cases this causes trouble
when you have different API releases or a python build with different
options, etc. In general it is possible of you know what you are
doing, but there are plenty if problems you might run into.
