I think on MacOSX you have to consider that it's really ~/Documents and the like that are *your* namespaces, rather than the top level of your home directory. Also, I think MacOSX has a somewhat different philosophy about hiding things. The Finder hides the internals of things like application bundles, which is fine, but the application itself is visible, so you can move it around or delete it if you want. With ~/.local, you're hiding the fact that the applications or libraries or whatever are even there in the first place. You've got all this disk space being used up, but no way of seeing where or by what, and no obvious way of freeing it up. I think that's bad HCI. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
