How to move and then use an installed python?

[David McNab]

AFAIK, when Python gets compiled, the binary ends up with hardwired 
file/directory paths.

Since you've moved the python tree, you have two choices:
1) Recompile python for its new location, and reinstall all the extra 
packages
2) Explicitly set the PYTHONHOME and/or PYTHONPATH environment variables 
(see man python).
