Is it possible to relocate pythonbrew

Question

I am trying to create a debian package containing customly built python using pythonbrew.

The compilation and debian construction is successfull. The problem is that when I install the package on other machine some modules does not work. For example hashlib or even os.getcwd() is not working. Whereas on build machine everything works.

Is it possible to relocate python installation? What might be the problem?

I build it in /opt/sw-python/extra/pythonbrew directory and on install pythonbrew is placed to the same /opt/sw-python/extra/pythonbrew directory.

Target machine:

Linux german-pc 3.0.0-12-generic ... x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Build machine:

Linux ds5vs5 2.6.32-5-amd64 ... 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Finally, I installed my debian package on a different Debian machine similar to build machine. And it worked!

I don't know what exactly caused the problem, but I guess it's a difference in kernel or compiler.
