Have a look at distutils/command/install.py for an example:
sys_path = map(os.path.normpath, sys.path)
sys_path = map(os.path.normcase, sys_path)
install_lib = os.path.normcase(os.path.normpath(self.install_lib))
if (self.warn_dir and
not (self.path_file and self.install_path_file) and
install_lib not in sys_path):
self.warn(("modules installed to '%s', which is not in " +
"Python's module search path (sys.path) -- " +
"you'll have to change the search path yourself") %
self.install_lib)
Most code we use is of the form:
sys.path.append('dir')
sys.path.insert(0, 'dir')
sys.path = ['/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages'] + sys.path
How I wish that we had some kind of code base archive for
third party code... e.g. the compile farm would probably be
great for this.
