Yes, setup.py only needs to know prefix at install time, because the Python
installation step is the only one that needs to know the prefix.

This is not hard to fix.  At configure time, write down into setup.cfg the
location you'd like to install to.  If no prefix command is given to setup
at install time, it can look there.  This isn't currently in petsc4py, but
it would be easy to add.
