You might find a tool like VirtualEnv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/
virtualenv/1.3.2) useful.  It allows you to create a localized sandbox
such that you don't stomp all over your system installation or require
elevated privileges.  It's good for development or toying with
different eggs.  When you're done, simply blow away the environment.
I've used it for just about everything over the past few months, it's
a wonderful tool.
