That's waaaaaaaaay much more than is actually needed, as thus each user would end up with a different installation. Setting the PYTHONPATH-env-variable to a user writable location allows e.g. easy_install and friends to install into that location. And installing virtualenv globally, everybody can create a "local" site-packages-directory. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
