I don't agree with the statement "broken". just because our current behaviour doesn't match the behaviour of a guidebook it's not just broken. I cannot find any hint in the standard configuration that this file has to be placed in /usr/local.
the file is a config file, and there is just one version which can be imported. IMO it is far better to have one file explicitely editable, which survives changes during upgrades, than having N copies laying around where you are not sure which one gets imported. we should update our diveintopython package to reflect this behaviour on ubuntu. closing the python task. ** Also affects: diveintopython (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: diveintopython (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: diveintopython (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: python2.5 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: python2.6 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- /usr/local/lib/python/sitecustomize.py broken due to overriding sitecustomize in /etc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
