Correct, I am using the source from 
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz
make clean 
./configure --prefix=/opt/Python-2.7
make 
sudo make install 
I get this:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./LICENSE /opt/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7/LICENSE.txt
PYTHONPATH=/opt/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7 \
 ./python -Wi -tt /opt/Python-2.7/lib/python2.7/compileall.py \
