It is well suited.

You can also do far simpler (and far smaller setups) like this:

  mkdir -p $HOME/lib/python

and in your environment (eg $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile) add:

  PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib/python:$PYTHON_PATH
  export PYTHONPATH

and simply install (copy) packages into that directory.

This is conceptually the same as having a $HOME/bin with commands
or your own in it, etc.

If you're getting your packages from pypi, virutalenv may be easier
to use in the long run.  besides, it lets you make multiple
environments for different flavours of Python (2 vs 3, etc).

I just kept it wide-open thinking it would correct itself.
Then I ran out of talent.       - C. Fittipaldi
