Oh, will distutils expand the ~?

I became careful with --prefix=~/... because the shell will expand a tilde 
only at the beginning of a word, and I ended up with tilde directories too 
often.  It's not nice to have to do "rm -r \~" ;-)  (Yes I know, there are 
safer ways, e.g. renaming first.)

I would just write out the target prefix in this case.

Have a nice day/weekend,
