Library Reference 3.29 site seems to say that site-packages is only searched on Unix and Mac. The relevant sentence is in the third paragraph: "For the tail part, it uses the empty string (on Windows) or it uses first lib/python2.4/site-packages and then lib/site-python (on Unixand Macintosh)." A clearer and more accurate wording would be "For the tail part, it uses the empty string and lib/site-python (on Windows) or it uses first lib/python2.4/site-packages and then lib/site-python (on Unixand Macintosh)." The relevant code is line 187 in site.py.
