Python distutils installs into 'site-packages' instead of 'dist-packages'
when a prefix is set
--
setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local installs
Matthias, are you sure this behaviour is intentional, and if so, by what
rationale? It seems plain wrong.
For that matter, why is --install-layout=deb not the default when using
a deb-packaged python executable?
--
setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local installs modules in site-packages/
This breaks installation of applications like Mercurial that supply
--prefix=/usr/local when installing. This has worked with previous
versions of Debian and Ubuntu, and it works with most other
distributions I'm aware of. It does this specifically not to interfere
with distribution-provided
I agree that unless there is something else, this will cause problems...

I changed the importance to Low, as this bug that has a moderate impact
on non-core applications...

The behaviour is intended. How to work around this:
- Don't specifiy --prefix=/usr/local, as it's the default for setup.py
install anyway.
- Add --install-layout=deb together with --prefix=/usr/local

OK, read the thread https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
devel/2009-February/027439.html
I guess that would make things more understandable for other users
suspecting a bug and finding this bug report.

I can confirm this bug. Although not critical, it is really annoying.

On the other hand if this result is expected and it was a design decision we
should clearly state it somewhere.
Whole migration to dist-packages/ should be documented as well - right now we
differ from mainstream python and all the others distribution. Also our own
python2.5 package doesn't use
