I use virtualenv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv), to avoid this problem. It then installs the additional libraries in to your chosen environment dir, and it doesn't mess up your OS Python install. This is especially nice for your development computer. You can have multiple environments for your different projects (if needed), and you always know where 'python setup.py install' will add your libs.
