No, a site dir is a Python-defined directory for site-installed 
packages, and/or a directory where .pth files are processed.  Wrong 
connotations entirely, since packages may be installed to other 
directories, and typically are in e.g. shared hosting environments.

DistributionDirectory is fine by me.  DistributionDirectories sounds 
like what setuptools calls an Environment.
