We had a report in upstream Python from a user who was trying to find information about dist-packages. He did a Google search and didn't find any definitive official explanation of this Debuntuism. His suggestion was to add a note to the official Python documentation, but that doesn't seem quite right to me. I think it would be better to have official documentation on wiki.debian.org[1] about issues of interest to Python developers on Debian and Ubuntu. This would be a user-oriented set of pages, not a developer set of pages. Things like dist-packages and probably that python-setuptools gives you distribute would be two things to start with. I'm sure there are others. So: do you think this is a good idea? If so, where should this information go? I'm not sure Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam or Teams/PythonModulesTeam are really the best place for this. Suggestions? -Barry [1] I'd probably add a page to wiki.ubuntu.com, mostly pointing it at the wiki.debian.org page, but filling in anything where Ubuntu deviates from Debian. Not sure yet where that would go either...
