One issue is that the Python build process on **ix captures the 
configured install path names into the built files in various places, 
like in _sysconfigdata.py.  So, in general, it is currently not 
supported to install a vanilla Python build into a location other than 
the path specified on the original configure commmand (default = 
/usr/local), e.g.

    ./configure --prefix=/path/to
    make
    make install

As long as you are producing a package that will be installed into the 
same path on each system and each system has a compatible architecture, 
you should be OK.
