Thanks, but that's not what I'm after. On my CentOS 4 server, Python 2.3.x
is installed with /usr as the prefix (that is, I use the CentOS-provided
version of Python). I install all third-party packages (including my own
code) with a prefix of /usr/local/mojam so I can a) avoid polluting the base
package and b) install things without becoming root. Accordingly, I dump a
mojam.pth file in the system site-packages directory which contains this one
line:
/usr/local/mojam/lib/python2.3/site-packages
That is my only pollution of the default Python installation. I'd like to
keep it that way. Can setuptools (be made to) do the job?
Thx,
Skip
