Hi, I don't like using root to install things, largely because I can
edit that source code more easily when it is in my home directory.
Anyway, I've edited my ~/.pydistutils.cfg file to reflect this per
turbogears advice:

[install]
install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages
install_scripts = ~/bin

While reading the wiki20 tutorial I notice I don't have docutils. So I
download it with easy_install (and it cannot find the server to
download the .tar.gz) so I download it with Firefox instead, unpack
it, try to install it.

Most of the package installs correctly to my home directory. But some
of it (I believe the site-packages/docutils/transforms/ and
site-packages/docutils/writers/) still wants to be installed
system-wide. Am I missing an install_foo = x directive?

Thanks,

Daniel Holth
