I personally think this is a bug in AMD64-Linux. Libraries should be stored in /usr/lib, binaries in /usr/bin, etc. If they need simultaneous installation of 32-bit binaries for compatibility, they should store them in architecture-specific directories. > I'll post on Python-Dev for > further advice. I'd like to fix this for the x86_64 community. The x86_64 community has been using Python for a while, and apparently has solved this problem already. You should try to find out how they did it.
