非root用户安装Python 三方模块

执行python setup.py install  时需要root密码

出现

running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-34570.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

可以指定，但是得在PYTHONPATH中指定路径，OK，在~/.bash_profile中添加我们将要安装的路径：

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/fowler/tools/redis_installation

OK，执行生效：ssh ~/.bash_profile

python setup.py install --prefix=~/tools/redis_installation

再次报错

running install
Checking .pth file support in /home/zhang.lei2/tools/redis_installation/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
/usr/bin/python -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: /home/zhang.lei2/tools/redis_installation/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /home/zhang.lei2/tools/redis_installation/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

    ':/home/zhang.lei2/tools/redis_installation'

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
  on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files

* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
  variable.  (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
  Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)

* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
  using one of the approaches described here:

https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

再把/home/zhang.lei2/tools/redis_installation/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ 加入PYTHONPATH，并source

再次运行安装命令，通过。
