From setup.py:
# those are examined to find
# - libxml2/libxml/tree.h
# - iconv.h
# - libxslt/xsltconfig.h
includes_dir = [
"/usr/include",
"/usr/local/include",
"/opt/include",
os.path.join(ROOT,'include'),
HOME
];
You could patch setup.py to add the right path. Or you could run
"configure" in libxml2 with "--prefix=<yourprefix>", then cd into the
"python" directory, and ROOT will be set to <youprefix> in setup.py.

Try:
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/foo/bar
You may have to adjust $PYTHONPATH to something like:
/path/to/foo/bar:$PYTHONPATH
for this to work.
