Hi Peng,
Yes, the Python that you configured and built knows all about where
*its* modules are kept. So, later, if you run `python setup.py
install` when installing a module you've downloaded from the PyPI, the
`site-packages` directory that gets used is the one belonging to the
`python` that comes first in your `$PATH`. :)
There's a lot of good info in the top-level Python README file
distributed with the source.
After you run `./configure --prefix=/foo/bar/baz`, have a look inside
the generated Makefile (look for `${prefix}`). You might also take a
peek into the config.log file that gets created.

Where are python module installed?
Hi, I configured python-2.6.2 with my own --prefix, then 'make' and 'make install'. I only find the following dirs and I don't find any python modules in the directory. Do python modules come with python-2.6.2? $ ls bin include lib share Regards, Peng -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
