I was disagreeing with: "dist-packages is only for Debian distro use". I agree with, "distro stuff is always in /usr, not /usr/local/". >> More importantly, the same document explicitly says, "Note that >> /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is in sys.path so that modules >> not installed from Debian packages can still be accessed by the system >> Python." >> >> -- https://wiki.debian.org/Python#Deviations_from_upstream > > Weird. If not installed from Debian packages that is in conflict to > dist-packages being system only? dist-packages is not system only. /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is system/distro only. /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is for local use. This is the same as: /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages is system/distro only. /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages is for local use. Which is the same as: /usr/bin is system/distro only. /usr/local/bin is for local use. -- Richard
