MacPython 2.4.1 looks in the site-packages directory embedded in its framework. There is only one supported framework location (/Library/ Frameworks), so there's no need to care about alternatives. If you build the installer with py2app's bdist_mpkg, you don't have to care about these details, because it does the right thing. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
