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.

I know I've had problems with global installations of Python. In fact, I've
resorted to making them unreadable with 'chmod 000 /usr/local/lib/$python_directory
I created this trac ticket for this issue, but don't know how to solve it
myself.

Could what you found be the reason I get these problems? Perhaps your ticket is
a solution.
I've also had builds of Sage try to write to /usr, which I think is the result
of picking up the wrong python.
