Yes it does.

I put some prints in
...
argv0_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.executable))
print argv0_path
landmark = os.path.join(argv0_path, "Modules", "Setup")
print landmark
if not os.path.isfile(landmark):
    python_build = 0
    print "python_build = 0"
elif os.path.isfile(os.path.join(argv0_path, "Lib", "os.py")):
    python_build = 1
    print "python_build = 1"
else:
    python_build = os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(argv0_path),
                                               "Lib", "os.py"))
    print "else"
print python_build
del argv0_path, landmark
...

And get
...
/usr/local/src/utils/Python-2
/usr/local/src/utils/Python-2/Modules/Setup
else
0
running build
...

Could this breaking because I build outside of the source tree?
