Hello,

currently I have:

/Library/Python/2.7/
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/
/Users/user/Library/Python/2.7/

With 3 folders site-packages and do not know why.
What's the difference?

Thanks.

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.

Installing Python Apps on Mac Lion

The Lion version of the OS on the Mac comes with Python 2.7 installed, but it 
is in /System/Library/Frameworks/..., and this area is not writable by third

I don't know about Lion but the Apple-supplied Pythons in previous 
versions of OS X (10.6 and 10.5) install site packages by default into 
/Library/Python.  If you use the Distutils defaults with the system 
Pythons in10.7, they will likely do the same.
