python setup.py install --prefix=/some/where/else
The arg to --prefix is analogous to /usr or /usr/local. For example, if you
are running Python 2.4, your files will wind up in
/some/
Thanks Diez.
For one thing I was getting setuptools mixed up with distutils. Then it
occurred to me that this might be covered in the standard distutils
docs (obvious I know but before I was thinking of it as a general
Python problem and therefore wasn't sure where it might be documented)

There are several gaps in my Python knowledge, one of which is the what
exactly setuptools does and how it works.
I'm on a shared host so can't write to site-packages therefore most
setup.py's fail.
My strategy for pure python packages is to run setup.py locally and
copy anything that gets put in
