Actually, lots of non-packagized modules get installed to site-packages
-- they just wind up right in site-packages, rather than in a
subdirectory of it.
I've always thought this directory was misnamed -- should have been
"site-lib" or something. Oh well.
For the record, the Distutils don't currently support the "application"
model of installation that Guido wants. It's on the (unofficial,
notional, blue-sky) to-do list.
