+1 on that name as well. One thing to note though: it is well possible that a user uses multiple Python versions. With just one such directory, all versions would look in the same directory for the configuration files and this could lead to incompatibilities, e.g. Python 2.7 might not like that Python 3.6 needs in some config file (for whatever reason). > Now for the global distutils.cfg, if we want to have it somewhere else > that the distutils package directory itself, we would need a > "/etc/python" scheme for instance, that could be also added in site.py. > > I don't know though how the latter would look under windows I think Subversion get's this pretty right, so we might want to follow their scheme: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
