The "site-packages" directory is the standard one provided by python. One way to find out exactly where a module (in this case MySQLdb) is located, import the module and then print the variable __file__ for that module. Here is an example of the calls, performed on an OSX machine: Mac:~ user$ python Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13) >>> import MySQLdb >>> MySQLdb.__file__ '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg/MySQLdb/__init__.pyc' In this case, the egg file/directory for MySQLdb is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/App-distribution-with-eggs-tp20569084p23260172.html Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
