Has anybody read my PEP or do I need a Christian's English to real English converter? *g* >From my PEP 370: --- The path to the user base directory can be overwritten with the environment variable PYTHONUSERBASE. The default location is used when PYTHONUSERBASE is not set or empty. --- PYTHONUSERBASE defaults to ~/.local/ on Unix. In order to install packages in ~/lib, ~/bin etc directly you can do export PYTHONUSERBASE=$HOME in your .bashrc or .profile.
