Yes, I have it in the home directory.
I think a good way would be to add an "Installing in custom folder"
section after "GNU Autotools based build", since none of the build
descriptions mention how to change prefixes. With cmake you have to
use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/Username/some/path and
-DPYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR=/home/Username/python/path, then set
PYTHONPATH to /home/Username/python/path. With autotools it's a little
trickier, since if you set --prefix=/home/Username/some/path, then it
will sort of append the path to default python directory (in Fedora
/home/Username/some/path/lib64/python2.7/site-packages, but I have no
idea what it will be in other systems), so PYTHONPATH must be set
accordingly.
I didn't really set any other enviroment variables than PYTHONPATH
(specifically for adonthell, anyway), but I think setting PYTHONPATH
is adequately described on python's website. Did anyone have some
specific problems with PYTHONPATH?

Does the above description sound right?

I used "GNU Autotools project" from a plugin. There's no eclipse
support for cmake as far as I know. I use eclipse 3.7 so maybe there's
a regression (I think I found some complaints somewhere, but they were
about other things).

I'll look into the tasks you mentioned and see what I can do.
