Thanks a lot for this information.
So now if I say for example choose ubuntu and debian for my testing
purpose, should I put all the packages I make
into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages?  Will this be a safe choice
for at least debian and Ubuntu?

I will later on think of fedora etc.

happy hacking.
