But can't hurt to change these in the standard getpath.c, right ? (reduce() is looking for SEP, so on platforms which do use the standard getpath.c but have a different os.sep could be mislead by the hardcoded slash in some constants) >>* There's no easy way to find the first item on sys.path which >> starts the default path added by Python at startup time.

But > maybe it's a YAGNI. Hmm, I've just built a Python interpreter with different prefix and exec_prefix settings: using such an interpreter lets distutils default to the exec_prefix subtree. However, Python itself does not create a site-packages directory in that tree (make install creates this directory in $(prefix)/lib/pythonX.X/ and not $(exec_prefix)/lib/pythonX.X/). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH _______________________________________________________________________ eGenix.com -- Makers of the Python mx Extensions: mxDateTime,mxODBC,...
