I could accept that a suffix is parameter to configure (or some such), and then gets used throughout. By default, Python will not add a suffix. However, I still wonder why people couldn't just install Python in a different prefix if they want separate installations.
Indeed. It might make sense to inquire what other packages do here. Apparently they don't do anything special, and they let users install in different prefixes if necessary.
Besides, mingling different installations together makes uninstalling much more difficult.

Antoine.
