Indeed, that should maybe be worked around. However: > which does not makes a sense to me as /usr/site-packages is not in > default sys.path We don't have a default install location. It's a bit like complaining that on CPython, if you use "python setup.py install --prefix=/foo/bar" you end up with things in "/foo/bar/.../site-packages", which is indeed not in sys.path. The paths you see, "/usr/lib64/pypy-2.2", are choosen by your distribution, and they make sense there, but the recommended path to install the distribution-independent release is usually "/opt/pypy-2.2". Do you have a suggestion about how "--prefix=/usr" would end up meaning "/usr/lib64/pypy-2.2"? More importantly, why do you need to specify any "--prefix" at all?
