That seems to have worked. I can now "import myghty". Much thanks for your patient help.
And thanks for your bug report. The SVN version of setuptools now fixes this problem, so that "setup.py install" honors any configuration file settings for the "easy_install" command. I'll also be refactoring the "non-root installation" docs to be a more general section on "Customizing Installation Locations", with a sub-heading on non-root installations, and add in more stuff about the site hack, .pth transitivity, etc. I kind of hate to make the docs more complex, but oh well. I'll also be adding a "What Your Users Should Know" section to the setuptools manual that will cross-reference to all that, so that authors of setuptools-based packages can direct people to a single link.
