I've change that behavior in Distutils (in Python trunk (2.7/3.2) )

semi related:

What's the preferred way to notify module (at install stage) about new data location when someone overrides --install-data (--install-data=/usr/share/foo/)?

What is "module" here ? what's your use case ?

any library/package/extension/whatever that sits in site-packages directory I use --install-data to install non .py/.so files outside site-packages but then I have to patch the module to look for these files in the right directory as it still looks for them in site-packages. Wolodja mentioned something similar on [1] - if $data can be overridden in .egg-info (using --install-data), then that's what I'm looking for. It's just a proposal, though - I'm wondering how should I use --install-data now.
