Thanks.
After looking through the code at the TransactionSet api, I understand
what you meant by "not a place". I was hoping it would be calling the
same methods as the rpm binary, but it looks like the python RPM api is
lacking the support for relocations. I looked at the macros, but could
not find anything relevant ("_prefix" macro does not appear to be it)
Too bad, looks like I am going to have to abandon this.

I am aware of the relocations limitation and my packages are build

The reason "installroot" option does not work is because it relies on
chroot, which obviously is not an option for me as it is not allowed
for non-root users.
So, can you point me to the place in yum code that the rpm api is
called? I want to see if I can pass prefix param via that.
it's not A place - you want to define the prefix macro.
it'll be something like rpm.addMacro(.....) - but I'm not sure what the
prefix macro is. ask on the rpm-list.
