[petsc-dev] prefix install and module file

[Aron Ahmadia]

Ah, I understand what you're doing now.  You're trying to have `pip`
install the modules file to the correct location.

At your top-level setup.py file you're overriding install():

https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/src/8f5bdbf243df394d73fcb8729f6a9331011281dc/setup.py?at=next#cl-157

The setup.py build command doesn't take a prefix argument, so you shouldn't
build/dump anything that is hardcoded to the prefix there (since as you
say, you don't have it).

You must defer that module dump command until you're installing (it doesn't
actually make much sense for an in-place/development build anyway).  Is
that hard to do?
