It happens very easily in corporate environments. Compiling python it a major headache compared to numpy, not because of python itself, but because you need to recompile every single extension you're gonna use. Compiling numpy + its dependencies is at least feasable, but building things like pygtk when you don't have X11 headers installed is more or less impossible.
