Hi. I'm assuming this is a python-on-mac oddity, but maybe I'm

There's probably something wrong with your environment, although I
don't know what that could be, as you've already excluded the most
likely problems in your next message.
Do you by any chance have a .pydistutils.cfg file in your home
directory?
Ah-ha! I had a feeling it was something like that but I hadn't
connected the dots yet. Yes, thank you very much!
For reference, these are the offending lines in my .pydistutils.cfg:
[install]
install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages
install_scripts = ~/bin
install_lib is apparently honored during this installation, and
install_scripts is not. I have these because I want to use easy
install for system Python-ish things but don't want to pollute my
system Python with whatever I experiment with or easy_install pulls
along.
If anyone knows a command-line way to temporarily disable this setting
while building a package, that would be cool! But for now, I've just
moved it aside.
Thanks again.
Gary
