Each Python interpreter has its own directory site-packages/ in the Python 
library dir where the extension modules go. You have to invoke setup.py with 
the exactly the Python interpreter you want to use python-ldap with.

Example (to be really sure the full path is given here):
/usr/bin/python2.2 setup.py build
/usr/bin/python2.2 setup.py install

You can check by typing
/usr/bin/python2.2 -c "import ldap;print ldap.__version__"

So if you wanna use python-ldap in three local installations of Python you 
have to build and install it three times, each time invoking setup.py with 
the Python executable.

You have to manually tweak setup.cfg to reflect how OpenLDAP libs and 
additional packages needed by the OpenLDAP libs were built (e.g. OpenSSL, 
Cyrus-SASL) and where they are installed.
