I have no qualms suggesting that package management programs avoid the use of site-packages. Such programs do need to cater to edge cases. But a single drop-it-in directory works great for the vast majority of *my* needs; requiring me to drink the Kool-Aid from a specific package management system just to get access to any add-ons -- even those I wrote myself in pure python -- would be a huge step backwards. -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
