mmmm, is this a script that the users are supposed to execute from the terminal (like any other programs they have installed) or it's a module? if it's the former supposition, then /usr/bin is the right place (without extensions) else use setup.py with distutils/setuptools and python-support, and they'll do the right. -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
