No, /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ is the location that users can install third-party packages for the System Python (because one shouldn't touch /System/Library/.../site-packages/). If you use the System Python to install your package or run bdist_mpkg, it has configured its distutils to default to installing there. If you use the www.python.org build of Python, its default is still its internal /Library/Frameworks/.../site-packages/. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
