One issue is that the Python build process on **ix captures the configured install path names into the built files in various places, like in _sysconfigdata.py. So, in general, it is currently not supported to install a vanilla Python build into a location other than the path specified on the original configure commmand (default = /usr/local), e.g. ./configure --prefix=/path/to make make install As long as you are producing a package that will be installed into the same path on each system and each system has a compatible architecture, you should be OK. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
