Thank you Ned, but I can't find environment variable name on that page which is equivarent to '--install-scripts' or other options. $PYTHONHOME seems equivarent to --prefix option, but the following reports error. $ mkdir -p local/lib/python2.7/site-packages $ PYTHONHOME=local python setup.py install ImportError: No module named site -- regards, makoto kuwata -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
