Hi, several packages do use python setup.py. This picks up the customized settings from ~/.pydistutils.cfg. This is bad, because it overrides the prefix setting.
For sage-main, I'll attach a patch: setup.cfg in the corresponding directory overrides the usere settings. Maybe there's a global solution.
