Bug Description

According to this:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-April/088941.html

Some distros install python modules in different locations:
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/

This is to prevent distro packages and manually installed modules from stomping on each other.

We need to map out what distros do and adapt the Makefile accordingly.

We should just try to see if the directories exist and use the first one that does:

/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/

Change that to this ordering:

/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/usr/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/
