1) The layout for the python root directory for all platforms should be
as follows:
stdlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}
platstdlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}
purelib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
platlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
include = {base/userbase}/include/python{py_version_short}
scripts = {base/userbase}/bin
data = {base/userbase}
[...]
I have talked with a number of people at PyCon, including Tarek and MvL.
Nobody objected, and several thought it was a good idea.
I admit that I didn't understand that lib/python{version} was
also part of the proposal. I'm fine with the bin/ change, but
skeptical about the lib change - this just adds a redundant level
of directories on Windows. The installation will end up in
c:\python33\lib\python3.3
which has the software name and version twice in the path.
Do we *really* need this?

Martin
