macports-users Digest, Vol 9, Issue 75

[Derek Harland]

Hi Guillame

I can partially help shed light ... the python24 install by default  
includes a Framework.  Having only recently transitioned from solaris  
to osx so I have no idea what the significance of that is beyond it  
seeming to be a way of bundling libraries along with their headers  
and other resources. [I'd like to know though .. anyone?]

As to the two site-packages ... the install is patched so that both  
appear in the default path.  You'll find that
(i) any packages that use distutils to install themselves (ie  
setup.py style) will appear in /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages  
as distutils doesn't realise its on a mac as opposed to a generic  
unix (os.name = 'posix')
(ii) any packages that handle their own install and try to munge  
sys.prefix will end up in the Framework site-packages directory (as  
sys.prefix=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4)

You can avoid building a framework if you install python24 with the  
+puredarwin variant.  I haven't actually done this myself but I  
expect it would look like a bog standard linux/solaris install.

derek.
