Altough it is clear that /usr/lib/python/site-packages is only suitable for packages, I still think the default is not too bad. At least easy_install and pip hinder the user from installing packages that are already in one of his accessible site-dirs. However, the real issue seems to be "python setup.py install". I'll see what I can come up with... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll post on opensuse-packaging about it and if nobody steps up to defend the greatness and coolness of the current approach, i'll do it.

That would be great, thanks.

(OTOH, interestingly, i never ran into this; i don't really see the value of user install scheme. either you have systemwide packages, or you have virtualenvs. it makes sense on shell accounts where you don't have root,

Also on multi-user systems where you are trying an unstable package and don't want to break everyone else's account, or on NFS home where you want to install once to instantly have it available across a number of machines ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
