Gosh, I'd never even heard of .pydistutils.cfg. I've added a note to the FAQ pointing to it.

Then I looked at the distutils code, and noticed that there's also an optional distutils.cfg inside the package. So that made me wonder: we could install a symlink in /System/yaddayaddayadda/lib/python2.3/distutils/distutils.cfg that points to, say, /Library/Python/2.3/distutils.cfg, and put an (admin-editable) file there that directs scripts tot the right place system wide (/usr/local/bin by default, probably). -- Jack Jansen, <Jack@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
