Do we have a real-world example for installing uninstallable data files outside sys.prefix?
Scripts aren't always in sys.prefix, and some packages install fixed data (e.g. web pages, message catalogs, etc.) to /usr/share or some such.
Also make sure you're not forgetting e.g. shared hosting scenarios without a virtualenv, unless you're planning to make virtualenvs an officially-supported thing. In such cases, the paths involved won't necessarily fall into a single root.
Also don't forget sys.exec_prefix. (Isn't packaging fun?) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
