I'm also on 10.8. NPSC: nicholas$ set | grep PYTHON NPSC: nicholas$ The only user configuration I've done is to create the following configuration file: NPSC:~ nicholas$ cat .pydistutils.cfg [install] install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages install_scripts = ~/bin I should say, this has been a problem for all of the python3.3 alpha and beta releases, on previous releases of OS X. I can't understand why it works on your setup, though, because I haven't done anything at all (that I can think of) that ought of affect it. I wonder if the logic that adds the directory to sys.path is being too clever for everyone's good? Best wishes, N. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
