I'm not a python expert either, but I needed to package isconf to
deploy it at work; that involves compiling it one place, doing the
make install to a second (in this case, python setup.py install),
and actually running it from a third. What's more, work standards
strictly prohibit an installed package making any reference to the
build or install-staging areas.

I ended up doing the python setup.py install, then clobbering the
pyc files, and editing the isconf script to add the isconf lib dir
to the search path.

Python has not impressed me as a language for deliving
enterprise-quality applications, so far.
