Jordan Birdsell commented on KUDU-2440:
---------------------------------------

This would be pretty easy to solve by introducing another environment variable, say KUDU_DEV_HOME or something. Is this what you were thinking or were you thinking this would be a parameter to setup.py?

> setup.py for the kudu-python package looks for Kudu client headers and libraries when installing but doesn't provide a way to override the prefix. At the time of writing, it looks in either KUDU_HOME for a dev environment, or /usr/local and /usr for a production environment.
> There should be some way to override that prefix in a non-development environment when doing pip install kudu-python.
