Site-packages is referenced from the "original" site.py code. It is a place from my reading where all packages common for the python installation are stored. It is the site repository for all extra packages. It's specifically hardcoded with an os.path.join(python-path,"lib","site-packages") command. Specifically, what about the Windows > registry items under HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\x.y\PythonPath? > There may be other "special" locations, I can't recall for certain. There's a user-packages location under python 2.6 But it's use hasn't been picked up. If it was under linux then the equivalent would possibly be ~/.user-packages.
