No need to change anything. The value of the prefix gets built into the
python executable, and from this, the executable generates a hard-wired
initial search path, something like <prefix>/lib/python/python2.0 (and
additional stuff for the site-specific modules etc.). By running
``make install'' you set up the directories in which your python
executable searches for modules.

Thus, if you can run

    ./configure --prefix=${HOME}  # for example
    make
    make install

everything runs fine.
