Basic installation

I'm at a loss as to installing Django - and I have spent the day
reading the documentation, the FAQ etc.
I understand that I should download django, unzip and un-tar, and then
run setup.py in the resulting directory. When I do this, I get a bunch
of stuff in that directory, and nothing in my Python site-packages
directory.

I wish to have my pure-python site packages in a separate directory, C:
\Python\site-packages, because they are not specific to one of the
Python versions I have installed. I have added a .pth file to PythonXX/
lib/site-packages to include the 'global' packages, and a
distutils.cfg file to tell distutils about my install preferences.

Django installs to its own directory, not to my requested directory or
even to the default 'site-packages directory.

What am I missing?? Does Django's included setup.py just ignore such
details?
