> you should not install into /usr/lib/python2.6 yourself. this has the potential to override system compnents.
Indeed, to avoid this I was used to set the prefix to /usr/local and I recommended this also when giving instructions for installing a module - but this recommendation fails now on Jaunty, as /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /site-packages is not in the sys.path anymore. > see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- devel/2009-February/027439.html I see the renaming to dist-packages is pretty useful. To be sure here: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages is reserved for custom Python installations and will not be part of the default sys.path anymore? -- Python distutils installs into 'site-packages' instead of 'dist-packages' when a prefix is set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
