Dan,
Thanks for the information. So, one option is to build Python
from source code to be able to install "/where/ever/..."
I still wonder why there is no distribution package for *ix that
contains binaries/libraries that can be installed "/where/ever/..."
Or, may be there is - I just don't know - but I want to know.
