scitools++ tries to install to hardcoded lib/python2.5 in sage 4.1

[clee]

Hello, thanks for sage, I've been going through the tutorial and it
looks great.
When installing the numerical visualization tools, I ran into a
problem (or two) in installing scitools++. There seemed to be some
syntax errors in tests and the spkg-install script appears to hardcode
the install to local/lib/python2.5 and doesn't adjust to using
python2.6.

Here a shorted version of the run.

install_package('scitools++')
[successful downloads, serveral things build well]

Then some errors in building Gnuplot/test.py

byte-compiling /home/clee/bin/sage-4.1.1-linux-
Debian_GNU_Linux_5.0_lenny-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.6/site-

----------
I edited spkg-install and got things to install

here's a diff:
