I didn't know about it until 15 minutes before I wrote the email :-).

All I did was

$ python setup.py install --help

Then wondered what all of those options were for :-).

Sheila> Might be worth mentioning in the installation docs?

I have added the following to the installation section of the manual:

If you already have a copy of Albatross installed and wish to test the
new release before installing it globally then you can install an
application private copy.  If your application is installed in
\texttt{/path/to/proj} then the following command will install a copy
of Albatross that is only visible to that application:
 
\begin{verbatim}
python setup.py install --install-lib /path/to/proj --install-scripts /path/to/proj
\end{verbatim}
