I have checked three Leopard boxes I have access to, all done by fresh installs. None of then have a site-packages for Python 2.5 that is shipped with OS under the /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework directory. $ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/ python2.5 $ ls -las site* 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16283 10 Oct 13:42 site.pyc 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16283 10 Oct 13:42 site.pyo The only site-packages that sys.path references is that under /Library/ Python/2.5. $ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 9 2007, 20:39:46) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python25.zip', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 2.5/lib/python2.5', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac', '/System/ Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat- mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/System/Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/ Library/Python/2.5/site-packages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC'] Except for one system, no additional Python packages have been installed. Even the one where only virtualenv was installed still didn't have the extra site-packages directory. So, something must be going on for you. Do any of the .pth files in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages have a reference to the other site-packages directory, indicating perhaps that some third party package is what has created the extra site- packages directory and added a reference to it so it gets added to sys.path.
