And thanks for your bug report. The SVN version of setuptools now fixes this problem, so that "setup.py install" honors any configuration file settings for the "easy_install" command. I'll also be refactoring the "non-root installation" docs to be a more general section on "Customizing Installation Locations", with a sub-heading on non-root installations, and add in more stuff about the site hack, .pth transitivity, etc. I kind of hate to make the docs more complex, but oh well. I'll also be adding a "What Your Users Should Know" section to the setuptools manual that will cross-reference to all that, so that authors of setuptools-based packages can direct people to a single link. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
