Yes, I can imagine the reason.
It's just a bit annoying for packagers because as previously the
"correct" Python prefix (for RPM packages, that is) has been set
automatically by setup.py, I suppose I'm not the only one who never
thought of passing --prefix="%{_prefix}", so now for 10.1 all
python-*.spec have to be modified.
What just makes me wonder... what's the point of installing Python
libraries under /usr/local when the default sys.path doesn't include
that directory ?
$ python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Apr 9 2006, 16:08:21)
[GCC 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.4',
'/usr/lib64/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-tk',
'/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload',
'/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages',
'/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0']
No /usr/local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages in there...
Anyway, I guess we'll just have to live with it ;)
Thanks for your comments.
cheers
