[Pythonmac-SIG] Python package directory confusion

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

It seems as though my python installation on 10.3 is messed up. After  
installing some packages, python is unable to see some packages that  
are clearly present (e.g. Numeric). Upon inspection, I see that I have  
2 package directories,  
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ 
site-packages/ and /Library/Python/2.3, the former being empty. Why are  
there 2 locations, and why is MacPython using the empty one? More  
importantly, how can I avoid this problem in the future?

Thanks,
C.
