Enables local Python and local Python package installation.

Local Python Installation

pythonz builds and installs multiple Python versions locally in the home directory.

This module prepends the pythonz directory to the path variable to enable the execution of pythonz.

Usage

Local Package Installation

Since version 2.6, Python supports per user package installation, as defined in PEP 370.
