Dear Admin,
According to what I see in my computer and after doing a Google search
on the subject:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site-packages+dist-packages
it seems that on some Debian-based Linux distributions (including Ubuntu)
the "site-packages" directory described in the site module's
documentation pages:
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.5/library/site.html#module-site
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/site.html#module-site
has been named "dist-packages", instead of "site-packages".
Could you please insert a note about it on these documentation pages?
I will prevent some beginner developers (like me!) to make confusion.
Thank you,
Thomas Oliveira
