No, since it's used to identify the installed location of the code
that goes with it, ala PEP 262. In other words, sys.path is its own
installation database.
But PEP262 suggests <prefix>/lib/python<version>/install-db/ for the
location and the
open issues there state (among other things):
PJE suggests the installation database "be potentially present on
every directory in sys.path,
So PEP262 implies to me that we either would have one
"install-db/" directory on "<prefix>/lib/python<version>/" or one on
each directory
of sys.path, e.g. also one on "site-packages". This would really solve my
problem, having only one entry more per directory of sys.path instead
of having one directory per packages at the locations I generally look
for the code.
