influence platorm during install -end user question

[Peter Hartmann]

How do I influence the platform type during install?  Could you look
at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  It's still using
information from get_platform instead of using my preference.

[root at k12linux pyosd-0.2.14]# python setup.py install
--install-purelib=lib.linux=i686-2.3 
--install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running install_lib
creating /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyosd
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.3/pyosd/__init__.py ->
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyosd
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.3/pyosd/daemon.py ->
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyosd
byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyosd/__init__.py to
__init__.pyc
byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyosd/daemon.py to daemon.pyc
