Summary:                    easy_install pre-sets the compiler, which cannot be
changed.
Description: 
installing PIL, genshi, mercurial, and others does not work seamlessly or
not at all if one has no possibility to create the pre-set path
/opt/studio/SOS11/SUNWspro/bin/cc.

it would be nice to have this path as /opt/csw/studio .... so anybody is
able to set it.

see
http://groups.google.com/group/distutils-sig/browse_thread/thread/d8d2c47eb1d96210
as well.

actually, this is a python thing. if you could compile python with a path
which is *in* /opt/csw than others would have the possibility to replicate
your setting.

see: 
http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html

especially:
distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler(compiler)
