I think the relevant link to change here would be ~/.local. I have personally been using the ~/.local convention for a while, and I believe ~/.local/bin is where scripts should go. Python is not the only thing that can be locally installed, and the fact that it's ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages suggests that ~/.local has the same layout as /usr (or /usr/local, for those who use that convention). _______________________________________________ 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
