I don't know about Lion but the Apple-supplied Pythons in previous versions of OS X (10.6 and 10.5) install site packages by default into /Library/Python. If you use the Distutils defaults with the system Pythons in10.7, they will likely do the same. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
