I wonder if this fixes the long-standing issue in OS vendor's distributions. In Fedora, for example, there is both arch-specific and non-arch directories: /usr/lib/python2.7 + /usr/lib64/python2.7, for example. Pure python goes into /usr/lib/python2.7, and code including binaries goes into /usr/lib64/python2.7. But if a package has both, it all has to go into /usr/lib64/python2.7, because the current loader can't find pieces in 2 different directories.
You can't have both /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/foo and /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/foo. So if this PEP will allow pieces of foo to be found in 2 different places, that would be helpful, IMO. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
