[Tutor] get_python_lib()

[Kakada]

Hi list,

I was just wondering why the below function return different location on 
different machine?

import distutils.sysconfig
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()

On my computer:
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages'
On my friend's computer:
'/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages'

What is the difference between these two?
Note: I have both location on my filestem.

Thanks for your input.
