If I had to take a guess, having not played too much with Lion: /Library/Python/2.7 is for user-installed packages for the system python that are installed for all users. /Library/Frameworks/... is for the user-installed Python (that's where it's always gone) /Users/user/Library... is for user-installed packages for the system Python that are only installed for the specific user. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
