Currently, the python modules, ag.py and ag_python.so, are installed
in $prefix/lib. (prefix = /usr/local, by default.)

Kaz, one of AGTK developers, says that Python installation has a
directory named as "site-packages".  For example, in our file server,
I can see the following directory:

    /pkg/P/Python-2.1.1/lib/python2.1/site-packages

External packages can go to that directory.  Python expose another
mechanism to locate its packages; it reads an environment variable
called "PYTHONPATH".  Python searches directories in PYTHONPATH to
locate the requested packages.  I'm thinking about making the
former a default option.
