From what I can tell /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages is the default. All I have in /Library/Frameworks are those such as Qt, CG and other things which I have installed. VirtualBox and PyQt both install to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages The README in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages make reference to a site.py file for 'more information' on site packages. I am unsure what exactly is meant by this. Might be worth seeing how PyQt or VirtualBox pull it off. Although I am unsure if the installer code for either is open source.
