So in that case I suppose I have to lookup at PYTHONUSERBASE as well, as done on site.py. I also propose if that's the case, to add a function in site.py that returns USER_SITE and USER_BASE, so it can be used by site.addusersitepackages *and* by distutils here Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
