I think that installing *application* (not misc. library) modules in site-packages is at least stupid idea, as it makes a special filesystem inside other, much more standarized filesystem (Windows, FHS, etc.). Why not to do this usual way: libraries to $prefix/lib/$appname-$version, binary to $prefix/bin, shared files to $prefix/share/$appname, etc -- and appropriately on Windows. -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
