Hi, I have downloaded a package from PyPI that uses distutils setup.py. When I run it with -h it shows options for building and installing, but does not appear to have an option for installation in my per user site packages directory (see PEP 370). I think it would be useful to add a "--local" option to setup.py that would install into the per site package directory. This would allow people to keep their Linux distros pristine while still being able to install packages that their distros don't have. (Or is there such an option that I've missed?) (In my particular case it wasn't a problem; I just built it and moved it.) -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd, www.qtrac.eu C++, Python, Qt, PyQt - training and consultancy "Programming in Python 3" - ISBN 0321680561 http://www.qtrac.eu/py3book.html
