Yes, unless framework-enabled python does something 'fishy' (I think framework vs convention python have different rules w.r.t. sys.path). As always, in doubt, you should check with numpy.__file__ which one is loaded. > My only worry is with installer packages - I'm thinking mainly of > wxpython.

I don't know if you can install a .mpkg in $HOME/.local. It is not supported by python AFAIK, and I think you would have to hack something to make it work. May just be easier to build by yourself. > Also - if I build for example vim against the system python, will I be > able to see packages in $HOME/.local from the python interpreter > inside vim? I don't know about vim-python interaction: doesn't vim uses its own python embedded within vim process ? You would have to check sys.path and similar variables, as well as vim doc.
