What about using the same names used in Python's site module: "sitedir" is the name used for a directory we named DistributionDirectory.

No, a site dir is a Python-defined directory for site-installed packages, and/or a directory where .pth files are processed. Wrong connotations entirely, since packages may be installed to other directories, and typically are in e.g. shared hosting environments. DistributionDirectory is fine by me. DistributionDirectories sounds like what setuptools calls an Environment.
