Is there a way to force easy_install to use <sys.prefix> as the prefix for relative data file paths ?
You can use easy_install -e to download and unpack the source for the thing you want to install, then use "setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed". This will not use the .egg installation format, and thus allows things to be installed to places other than a single lib dir and bin dir.
Alternatively, you could perhaps use pip, which automates a process very similar to that. (I'm not sure if it really supports this or not, but you could read the docs or try it out.)
