Re: [Distutils] PEP 376 - site-directories and site.addsitedir

I'd like to make a difference between what is "importable" and what is "installed" in Python.

what's "installed" for me is what is in a site-packages directory that contains egg-info directories.

I'm not sure how well-defined that is. Can you precisely define what a "site-packages directory" is? Specifically, what about the Windows registry items under HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\x.y\PythonPath? There may be other "special" locations, I can't recall for certain. Paul.
