Is it that easy to install Python ?

OK thanks for your answers.
So Python is not a daemon. Is it?
Does it have a config file?

Actually, each site on the web server is jailed in a chrooted environment.
In the chrooted environment, Python appears to be in /usr/bin/python.

If I give developers write access to a folder like /usr/lib/python/dist-packages/ (in the chrooted environment), will this be sufficient?

PS: Thanks for all your opinions about how one should install Python but that wasn't the purpose of this thread. Most programs on my servers are compiled. Period.
