The /usr/bin/python installs the executable into /usr/local/bin. I'd be fine if the Macports installed it in /opt/local/bin -- this makes me believe there is a config directive I'm missing somewhere.

I'm new to Python and I'm trying to figure out why, for example, when I install aws-cli 
(from source) using Macports, it doesn't install properly vs /usr/bin/python that does 
the right thing and places the commands in proper places.   When I run 
"/opt/local/bin/python setup.py install" it ends up buried in directories under 
the Macports directory structure, which isn't usable.   Maybe I am missing some ENV 
variables?
