I think so.

You should be able to remove the build/ directory that was created
where the package is unpacked, and then run the install command with
your python2/bin/python.  The problem is that "build" and "install"
are traditionally two distinct steps.  While setup.py takes care of
both for you, it does detect that you switched Python's, so doesn't
re-build for the second.
