If you are using Python 2.6+ you have your own site-packages
directory, e.g. ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages. So, if this
package is only for your own use, you can use easy_install's --install-
dir option to have setuptools install it there, and can also set --
script-dir to ~/bin, where your console script will go. This, and
other options are discussed here:
