#2 python setup.py install --root=... ?

[Anonymous]

hi
i want to create a package for arch linux, but i need to specify a prefix for setup.py.
usually this is done by adding the --root= option, which does not work for stylus-toolbox.
so i looked into the setup.py file and found you use --prefix, but
python setup.py install --prefix=$startdir/pkg
does not work either.

so what's the correct way?

Type 'make install' in the package dir as root. (See the README file)

but i need to specify the prefix to build the package before doing that.
i also should be able to do that with a normal user, as long as i don't install into a directory i'm not allowed to write in.
