If it is using distutils (which probably is the case, as there is a
"setup.py" file), then you can pass the option --root="${DESTDIR}" to
`python setup.py install`, which should do exactly what you want (pulled
from Gentoo's distutils.eclass - I find Gentoo's ebuilds/eclasses help a
lot when trying to find out exactly *how* to build a particular package
with the options I want, especially for determining which option to use
for DESTDIR).
