fwiw, I've never had a problem building python in my home directory 
on my virtual host by using the --with-prefix switch for configure. 
The only real catch is that #!/usr/bin/env python breaks. You also 
may have to edit .bash_profile (or whatever) if you've previously 
extended $PYTHONPATH there and I think that I went ahead and created 
the same kind of folder structure that you find in /usr/local (bin, 
lib, include, etc.) in my home directory before I installed my own 
python the first time, but I'm not sure if that's necessary.

You also have to watch it if you are trying to build other stuff with 
a python interface like postgresql but it's usually just a matter of 
telling the configure file where python is- even at that, some things 
like plpython just won't build correctly or at least I couldn't get 
it to do so, but maybe that would be the case any way.
