If you want to only experiment with Python code, you can build in-place with
  $ python setup.py build_ext -i

For compiled code, you're much better off with numscons:
  $ # in-place build
  $ python setupscons.py scons -i
  $  # partial rebuild of optimize module
  $ python setupscons.py scons -i  --package-list=scipy.optimize
You'll need to install numscons, see
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/NumScons.
