The distutils.cfg file is located in the distutils package itself ! So the target is ~/.local/pythonX.X/site-packages/distutils/distutils.cfg (sorry if that was unclear) Now, I would totally agree to have a better ~/.NAME to reunite user-specific *configuration* file for Python, but that would be yet another directory for user-specific Python files. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
