pythonz is a program to automate the building and installation of Python in the users $HOME.

As an ops person, I think this is a horrible idea, evoking the horror that is RVM, but with a stable, well-documented language that seldom needs to be bleeding-edge. I could see this as being useful for python developers, but I hope python users/application developers can manage to stay away.

OTOH, pythonz appears to work system-wide as well. That's much more useful as a step toward proper packaging of the python version you deploy onto. pip --user (or virtualenv) takes care of installing modules in your own environment, if that's what you're really after.
