Two minor points: 1. It's "~/.local", not "~/.locale" ;-) 2. I think it would be a better idea to do "~/.local/lib/jython/2.6/site-packages". The idea with ~/.local is that it's a mirror of the directory structure convention in /, /usr/, /opt/ or /usr/local/. In other words it's got "bin", "lib", "share", "etc", etc.. ~/.local/jython/lib suggests that the parallel scripts directory would be ~/.local/jython/bin, which means I need 2 entries on my $PATH instead of one, which means yet more setup for people who use both Python and Jython per-user installation. _______________________________________________ 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
