When installing from source on a Debian system, you want the installed package to wind up in /usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages (where x represents the version of Python you are running the installer from). This allows you to keep it separate from the apt managed directories and allows for easy removal/upgrade. So the command you want to execute from root is python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local By the way, to get NymPy to use the high-performance libraries, you must install these libraries and the associated -dev packages before running the Python install. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
