I'm using the python package here and never saw the problem reported in
this thread. Your suggestion of installing properly into $STAGING_DIR
seems reasonable though.

I am planning to update the package for Python 2.5 soon so I will fix
that up at the same time. Next week hopefully.

Changing versions might break some people's code, so it may be necessary
to support multiple versions and allow the user to choose. Do you other
Python users have any comments on this?
