The Mac directories look fine to me.

Is it worthwhile to note in the PEP that the directories for the Mac  
are already used in Python 2.5?

Yes, because that makes supporting users easier and keeps things nice  
and simple (no need to ask which kind of Python they installed to  
determine where their user directory is).  Distutils should already  
link extensions in a way that allows you to have a python2.6 unix- 
build and framework-build that share the same site-packages directory.
