But I'll never find my data files in sys.prefix + path_i_asked_distutils_to_install_to. So what according to you, is the right way to go about distributing? This situation is definitely not ideal.To make it a little bit less painful (and follow FHS) Debian's python (since 2.6) installs to /usr/local by default. This way system packages will still be broken (/usr/local is higher in sys.path) but at least it will be easier to fix it (Python packaging system doesn't have a *working* uninstall functionality). Additionally system's python uses dist-packages instead of site-packages so local installations of python itself will not interfere with the one from Debian package.
Thanks Umang
