The stable buildbots look moderately okay, let's see what we can do
about getting them all green:
I like to draw some attention to two features for the last alpha:
PEP 370: Per user site-packages directory
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/
I like this, except one issue: I really don't like the .local
directory. I don't see any compelling reason why this needs to be
~/.local/lib/ -- IMO it should just be ~/lib/. There's no need to hide
it from view, especially since the user is expected to manage this
explicitly.
Interesting. I'm of the opposite opinion. I really don't want Python
dictating to me what my home directory should look like (a dot file
doesn't count because so many tools conspire to hide it from me). I
guess there's always $PYTHONUSERBASE, but I think I will not be
alone. ;)
