If distutils usage becomes common (and I see no reason why it wouldn't) this could enable Python users to install upstream packages with the full support of the Debian infrastructure, without waiting for someone to package them as a .deb. --Rob -- Rob Tillotson N9MTB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Python version, there is /usr/lib/site-python. While python-base does not appear to create this directory, it is part of the default sys.path (in the current 1.5.2 packages) and there are at least two packages (reportbug and dpkg-python) which live there. --Rob -- Rob Tillotson N9MTB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Maybe in woody we can have some more task-python-* packages for more kinds of Python programming... task-python-scientific and task-python-sql might be good ones, for example.
