 Replying to [comment:9 ryandesign@…]:
 > I still don't know why Bryan changed the port in r16819 to no longer
 install site.py, nor why he claimed in the log message that the file was
 unnecessary, nor why it took two years after that change for anyone to
 report the problem to us. Maybe the file did not used to be required, but
 now is. In any case, given the software author's statement, I changed the
 ports to again install that file, as of r39983.
 I think (and since this was 2.5 years ago, I could definitely be
 remembering wrong) is that since it was putting site.py into
 ${prefix}/lib/python*/site-packages/ instead of where the base site.py is
 located, I may have believed it to be unnecessary.  Or it was interfering
 with a site.py already present there, though I don't see one with
 python2.5.
