It should be surprising - a limited user should *never* be able to install software into a shared location. The fact that it works for CPython is a bug, not a feature. I would totally expect to have to elevate to install a package; IIRC, it's the norm on *nix machines to need to sudo to write to site-packages. Limited users should only be able to write to a per-user site-packages (I think this is what virtualenv is supposed to accomplish, but virtualenv has always been a mystery to me). It's no different that a limited user being able to install into the GAC. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
