yes, so should I then assume that the root installs will put all the .so files in /usr/local/lib/.python-eggs? In fact when I look at my root installed pythons they seem quite happy to put the _mysql.so underneath site-packages. I suspect that if I just installed from source I'd get that behaviour, but the egg stuff is different. > > (snip) >> Just another nonsense from the eggworld > > Or just another example of not reading the FineManual(tm) ? well I didn't write the installer or the associated egg setup. The egg things are supposed to do the right thing, but perhaps they're too difficult for the egg layers. -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
