framework for creating local environment for native libraries

I write code that often depends on native libraries on linux or mac os. Usually I don't have permissions to install the respective native lib in the system, so I resort to creating a local folder ~/env where I install my libs. I than add this to my PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, C_INCLUDE_DIRS, etc. I really like homebrew and I was wondering if there is a framework (or a tool) like that (hopefully in python :) ) that will ease the process of adding native dependencies to my local environemt on both linux and mac. Thanks!

Cheers

GNU autoconf, automake, libtool will do the job nicely and in a very clean and portable manner... but you'll need a good amount of time and work to make it working correctly.

Have you tried virtualenv 1?

It's dead easy to create your own environment, then switch into it and install whatever you need with easy_install or pypi

Hope it helps
