Install Python extension library (built with Boost::Python) through catkin?

edit

Hi everyone,

is it reasonable and recommended to install a Python extension library using catkin? I would think so.

If it is, how is it done? All I can find is information on how to install a module or a script, not an extension. Where does it have to be located in the catkin_ws? How do I make catkin call/use the setup.py of the extension?

Thanks

Oh, I forgot to mention: the extension is used primarily in the surrounding ROS stack.
