There might be also a simpler way to do this,
but I have for this purpose a tiny shell script.

install-here.sh
---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
python setup.py install --install-base . --install-lib . --install-data
. --install-headers . --install-scripts . 
---------------------------------

So I can always test a local installation (if it is 
a package).

May be the parameters for build (build-base,build-lib)
are that what you need.


Kind regards
