Numpy package installs in the $HOME

Question

I wanted to compile numpy with Atlas support, so I downloaded the package and edited the PKGBUILD adding the lib names:

as suggested in the numpy site I used ldd to double check that the .so files are indeed compiled with gfortran...
So far, so good.
I unset python related variables, and start the build:
$ unset PYTHONPATH
$ unset PYTHONSTARTUP
$ makepkg
But, the result still puts the files in the directory in my home!
$ find pkg
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/unixccompiler.py
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/misc_util.py
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/setupscons.py
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/mingw
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/mingw/gfortran_vs2003_hack.c
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/pathccompiler.py
pkg/python-numpy/home/ezzetabi/pythonlib/numpy/distutils/cpuinfo.py
How is possible? I am going crazy, help!
Thanks

What? Of course I did not installed it! The pkg directory shows a wrong structure! And the reason of that was the question.
Got it... I made time ago the ~/.pydistutils.cfg file to install a python package in my home and I forgot about it...
~/.pydistutils.cfg
[install]
install_lib = ~/pythonlib
install_scripts = ~/pythonlib/bin
My fault, yet I guess the package should ignore it somewhat...
