What exactly is site.py for? I tried installing Distribute with PyPy, and it fails, because if you start it, it runs site.py, and site.py uses makepath, but doesn't import or define it, so it fails.
Eh? I see def makepath(*paths): dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(*paths)) return dir, os.path.normcase(dir) around line 75 of site.py in the python 2.6 source tree. Maybe PyPy has its own broken copy?
Running the tests with python2.6 and it seems site.py is never run,
How do you know?
but removing it makes the tests fail.
Any insight into this?
