It seems you are right... But ... when I check more closely .. I see that the above code doesn't really display all the installed packages in the site-lib directory. There are some directories in there that don't get included in the results. I would love to know why. So I am realising that the above code doesn't give the right answers. I thought if programmers used distutils and so forth everything would work "properly". or is this just an issue with pkg_resources ? Are these failures of the python subsystem?
