pip is the python package manager; if python's able to use packages in those directories then manually putting something in there will be accessible, regardless of MacPorts' involvement. >> Python's documentation (PEP 370 - Per user site-packages directory) says [1]: >> On Mac OS X Python uses ~/.local directory as well.

So just create the directories and try it? I ran the pip command (`pip install --user hl7) and here's what it installed: $ ls -R ~/Library/Python/ 2.7 ~/Library/Python/2.7: bin lib ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin: mllp_send ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib: python ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python: site-packages ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages: hl7 hl7-0.2.5-py2.7.egg-info ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/hl7: __init__.py __init__.pyc client.py client.pyc ~/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/hl7-0.2.5-py2.7.egg-info: PKG-INFO entry_points.txt zip-safe SOURCES.txt installed-files.txt dependency_links.txt top_level.txt _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
