I think I'm a little confused, too, because Python supports the /usr|/usr/local separation just fine (setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local). It seems like it's also using "dist-packages" instead of "site-packages". That part, I don't understand at all--distribution packages should go in /usr/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages, and "site" packages go in /usr/local/pythonx.y/site-packages; /usr/local *itself* means "non-distribution site-installed stuff". If that's what you're referring to, then at least on first impression I agree. -- Glenn Maynard _______________________________________________ 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
