New submission from Georg Brandl: >From the docs@ list: """ Dear all,
the first paragraph of the documentation for the site module states that site.py constructs four directories using a head and tail part, and that one of the tail parts would be lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages on UNIX/Mac. However, in my Python 3.2 installation on Ubuntu 12.04 this is actually lib/python3/dist-packages (so no .Y and a different subdirectory) ! This is also stated in the module’s doc string. I don’t know why the Python documentation says something else, but that should be fixed. """ Attached a patch to explain why the defaults may look different on some distributions. Please review. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: site-patch.diff keywords: patch messages: 186897 nosy: barry, docs@python, doko, georg.brandl priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: document that some distributions change site.py defaults type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29849/site-patch.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17727> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
