Another reason not to use site-python is that it is actually still hard to write cross-version Python code -- there are enough differences that any substantial volume of code (and in Python, you don't need many KLoC to get substantial code!) is bound to encounter a few, especially if you get used to using only Python 2.0+ -- it's easy to get used to features like string methods, list comprehensions, and augmented assignment! The site-packages directory was introduced to avoid the deficiencies of the site-python directory. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Digital Creations
