Comment (by kenni):

 Hmm, I really never gave it a thought that this behavior could be by
 design. When I compile a program, I always install it below /usr/local/ in
 order to keep it completely separated from programs installed with the
 package manager.

 I assumed that this was a bug when I found the executables below /usr/bin,
 since I had configured the prefix to be /usr/local/ in the configure
 script (which also covers the Python bindings).

 Perhaps it would be more user friendly to extend the output message from
 configure to include the Python bindings path(s)? At least that way the
 user gets a fair warning before installing.

 {{{
 # Bindings
 bindings_python           yes [/usr/bin /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/]
 }}}

 Probably not the right syntax to use, as I believe the above syntax
 indicate source directories, but perhaps some other way of telling the
 user that the Python bindings ignores the install prefix?
