http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=184199 >>> import distutils.sysconfig >>> distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages' get_python_lib(plat_specific=0, standard_lib=0, prefix=None) Return the directory containing the Python library (standard or site additions). If 'plat_specific' is true, return the directory containing platform-specific modules, i.e. any module from a non-pure- Python module distribution; otherwise, return the platform-shared library directory. If 'standard_lib' is true, return the directory containing standard Python library modules; otherwise, return the directory for site-specific modules. If 'prefix' is supplied, use it instead of sys.prefix or sys.exec_prefix -- i.e., ignore 'plat_specific'. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
