 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.

 Regards,
   Alexander Dreyer
