Note that the various alternate installation schemes are mutually exclusive: you
can pass ``--user``, or ``--home``, or ``--prefix`` and ``--exec-prefix``, or
``--install-base`` and ``--install-platbase``, but you can't mix from these

Alternate installation: the user scheme
---------------------------------------
This scheme is designed to be the most convenient solution for users that don't
have write permission to the global site-packages directory or don't want to
install into it. It is enabled with a simple option::
python setup.py install --user
Files will be installed into subdirectories of :data:`site.USER_BASE` (written
as :file:`{userbase}` hereafter). This scheme installs pure Python modules and
extension modules in the same location (also known as :data:`site.USER_SITE`).
Here are the values for UNIX, including Mac OS X:
=============== ===========================================================
Type of file Installation directory
=============== ===========================================================
modules :file:`{userbase}/lib/python{X.Y}/site-packages`
scripts :file:`{userbase}/bin`
data :file:`{userbase}`
C headers :file:`{userbase}/include/python{X.Y}{abiflags}/{distname}`
=============== ===========================================================
And here are the values used on Windows:
=============== ===========================================================

=============== ===========================================================
modules :file:`{userbase}\\Python{XY}\\site-packages`
scripts :file:`{userbase}\\Scripts`
data :file:`{userbase}`
C headers :file:`{userbase}\\Python{XY}\\Include\\{distname}`
=============== ===========================================================
The advantage of using this scheme compared to the other ones described below is
that the user site-packages directory is under normal conditions always included
in :data:`sys.path` (see :mod:`site` for more information), which means that
there is no additional step to perform after running the :file:`setup.py` script
to finalize the installation.
The :command:`build_ext` command also has a ``--user`` option to add
:file:`{userbase}/include` to the compiler search path for header files and
:file:`{userbase}/lib` to the compiler search path for libraries as well as to
the runtime search path for shared C libraries (rpath).

The Customization Modules
-------------------------
Python provides two hooks to let you customize it: :mod:`sitecustomize` and
:mod:`usercustomize`. To see how it works, you need first to find the location
of your user site-packages directory. Start Python and run this code:
>>> import site
>>> site.getusersitepackages()
'/home/user/.local/lib/python3.2/site-packages'
Now you can create a file named :file:`usercustomize.py` in that directory and
put anything you want in it. It will affect every invocation of Python, unless
it is started with the :option:`-s` option to disable the automatic import.
:mod:`sitecustomize` works in the same way, but is typically created by an
administrator of the computer in the global site-packages directory, and is
imported before :mod:`usercustomize`. See the documentation of the :mod:`site`
module for more details.
