One issue is that the Python build process on **ix captures the
configured install path names into the built files in various places,
like in _sysconfigdata.py. So, in general, it is currently not
supported to install a vanilla Python build into a location other than
the path specified on the original configure commmand (default =
/usr/local), e.g.
./configure --prefix=/path/to
make
make install
As long as you are producing a package that will be installed into the
same path on each system and each system has a compatible architecture,
you should be OK.
