[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython & Leopard: Which 'site-packages' folder to use?

Hello,

With Leopard's built-in Python, user-installed modules are placed in
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/.

If I'm using MacPython, should I avoid putting anything into this
directory and use
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages
instead?

I'd just like to double check. I noticed the former path wasn't in
sys.path when I looked, but I wasn't sure if it was accidentally left
out by mistake.

Thanks for the help,

Rob
