I don't think that is true, the only time I needed root was when I was symlinking django into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ but since you can put it anywhere on your python path, you just need to symlink it somewhere that's on your path and doesn't require root, since you need a location like this to run any python software this doesn't seem like an issue to me.
