I've built it too. That's not the point. It's the yak shaving of "I just want to compile this thing here" that turns into "what options do I need for building Python", and "how do I then get these third party Python modules with a custom install script to install into the correct Python path. And what exactly should I set PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to".
Keep in mind that I have to do all this just to build some C++ binary because someone decided to not use autotools.
