easy_install uses the standard distutils configuration system, which means
that you can do e.g.
[install]
prefix = ~/.local
in ./setup.cfg, ~/.pydistutils.cfg, or
/usr/lib/python2.x/distutils/distutils.cfg to set the default installation
prefix. Setuptools (and distutils!) will then install libraries to
~/.local/lib/python2.x/site-packages and scripts to ~/.local/bin.
