Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: Python installation are already not isolated: there is a per-user site-packages directory on all platforms that is shared between all installations of a particular python release. This directory is located in a subdirectory of ~/.local on POSIX systems (including OSX).
Anyway, this cannot be changed for a released version of python because that would break backward compatibility. At "best" this could be disabled in python 3.3 and even there I'm far from convinced that disabling this feature would be worthwhile. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15048> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
