There is distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() that works at least since 2.2: >>> from distutils import sysconfig >>> sysconfig.get_python_lib() '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages' >>> from distutils import sysconfig >>> sysconfig.get_python_lib() '/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages' >>> from distutils import sysconfig >>> sysconfig.get_python_lib() 'c:\\python24\\Lib\\site-packages' Serge. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
