[Pythonmac-SIG] not "MacPython" - right place?

[William K]

I'm not sure if this is the place - browsing the list shows everyone  
talking about MacPython or building their own.  I'm just interested  
in figuring out something on Apple's included Python.  Major Python  
newbie here (a couple Python books in the mail).

When I do an install with no options, it installs in /System/ 
Library/...  That doesn't sound like a good idea - /System should be  
for Apple stuff and the occassional kext.  Is there a standard user- 
plugin folder for Python on Mac OS X (like /Library/Python)?  And how  
would I specify that in a python setup.py install command?  The  
distutils documentation didn't help - developer-oriented.

for Mac OS 10.4.

I remember trying something back in Panther, but I didn't have the  
time or need to pursue it very far.  I installed a module somehow in / 
Library/Python and it's still there.
