Wouldn't it be possible to support a PYTHONSITEDIR environment variable in site.py for this purpose? I have attached a possible patch. In what follows, if PYTHONSITEDIR is defined, that dir is used as the only source of site-packages, extra paths can easily be added by creating a .pth file in there. A different variable could be used to prepend a sitedir to the list of default sitedirs (similar code without "return None").
I had a similar idea, wrote a PEP and implemented it for 2.6 and 3.0: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/ Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
