I'm confused why Fedora Python packages get installed in /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/. Looking at the upstream Python documentation[1] it seems this directory is reserved for packages installed by the local system administrator. (Similar to the Perl distinction between INSTALLDIRS=vendor / INSTALLDIRS=site / INSTALLDIRS=core [2]) Not directly relevant, but Debian reserves[3] site-packages for the system administrator, and puts Python packages in its own directory (/usr/lib/python*/dist-packages). Is this a mistake or am I not understanding the distinction? Rich.
