[vtkusers] install python wrapping on Mac 10.7

[Shiyuan]

Hi David,
    Thanks for replying. I got a similar error. But I did set up the
PYTHONPATH env variable and export it. But for some reason, it doesn't see
it. This is the error I got, the  complete screen output for 'make install'
is also attached.
--------------------------------------------------
running cd "/Users/sgu/softwares/VTK/Wrapping/Python" &&
/opt/local/bin/python setup.py install --prefix="/Users/sgu/softwares"  2>&1
running install
Checking .pth file support in
/Users/sgu/softwares/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
-E -c pass
TEST FAILED: /Users/sgu/softwares/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT
support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /Users/sgu/softwares/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

    ''
