Python installation/cleanup management

[Asaf Las]

Hi

What is the best way to manage Python isolated from 
/bin /usr/bin ... installations done via source code 
compilation on yum/rpm based systems? 

there are some alternatives i guess could be done: 

* configure --prefix, then delete
* checkinstall
* fpm (questionable for python?)
* make altinstall and diff fs for pre post changes 
* diving into rpm spec file
-------------------
* any other?

main objective is to figure out upgrade or python 
release test methods done in least painless way. 

have searched issue but either missed or there is no 
much comparison of above.  

Thanks
