MacPro:~ fw$ /usr/bin/python -c 'from distutils import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_python_lib())' /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages Completely different scheme. > When I run NTPsec on macOS I export PYTHONPATH. Should no longer be necessary, since Eric's patch doesn't affect my fix in the OSX case. It does, however, screw up BSD. E.g., on FreeBSD: >>> sysconfig.get_python_lib() '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' >>> sysconfig.get_python_lib().replace('/usr', '/usr/local') '/usr/local/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' It needs a bit more restraint in patching the path. Maybe it should only apply to paths where the first element is 'usr' and the second element is not 'local'. > And AFAIK, NTPsec is now, once again, installing in the proper location > on all OS. I no longer see an issue here. Well, *I* see an issue until setting PYTHONPATH is rendered unnecessary on all platforms, which is not yet the case.
