And indeed, it does. After your proposed, changed, it wouldn't anymore. The Python installation root is *not* the directory where the Python library lives, but the parent directory in which both to find the python executable (bin/python), and the library (lib/pythonX.Y). As R. David Murray explains, there is no chance that this definition could possibly change - it would break existing systems. I'm not quite sure what you want to achieve: if you want an additional directory to show up in sys.path, just edit Modules/Setup. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6060> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
