My thought is that if we have docs that say something like:

If you have modules that you want accessible by a particular user, 
rather than the whole system, put them in:

Users/TheUserName/Library/Python/2.4/site-packages


It would be nice if that directory existed.

On the other hand, when the installer runs, do we create one only in the 
user's directory that's installing, or all users directories, or???

Maybe it's just as easy to just tell people to create it if they need it.
