[Distutils] question re: easy_install and macports

[Chris Jerdonek]

Hi, I have a quick question regarding easy_install and MacPorts.  I
tried easy_installing nose while using MacPorts (Python 2.6.7 /
py26-distribute @0.6.24_0 / MacPorts version 2.0.3) --

> sudo python -m easy_install nose

This worked, except it installed the nosetests script into--

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin

but did not create an alias in--

/opt/local/bin

So nosetests is not automatically in the path.  Was this a problem
with MacPorts, easy_install, or nose?  Whose responsibility was it to
create the alias?

Thanks a lot,
--Chris
