When I run setup.py to install a pure python package, is it supposed
to
automatically set my search path to find the installed modules? Or am
I
supposed to set my PYTHONPATH variable myself in my .bashrc file?

And what if I don't have root priviledge? Then what is supposed to
happen? Can anyone give me a clue? Thanks.
