thanks for your time , the answer is "no" , I expect that the script should create this directories and copy the modules into it. – tabebqena Nov 18 '13 at 00:11

Please read the documentation of package_dir. package_dir is not the destination. Package_dir is to tell distutils where your packages are in your source tree. – Kenji Noguchi Nov 18 '13 at 00:44

I have found this way which is accepted for me :
1/ Make setup configuration file .
2/ Add the following to the configuration file :
[install]
install-base= # custom path
install-purelib= # custom path
install-platlib= # add custom path
install-scripts= # add custom path
install-data= # add custom path
install-headers= #add custom path
this is better than force the user to specify them in the command line, in addition he can override this conf. from the command line . It works fine for me .
