Hi, I don't like using root to install things, largely because I can
edit that source code more easily when it is in my home directory.
Anyway, I've edited my ~/.pydistutils.cfg file to reflect this per
turbogears advice:
The ideal way of doing this is to check out the source, and install the
packages in "development mode":

I also just added some instructions to the bottom of that section on
doing this with non-setuptools projects.
There's some other advise in that document for other kinds of non-root
installs (some aspects of which are complimentary with develop), but for
your case "develop" is the right option.
