I'm working on some extra cool and useful additions to PEP 370. It's going to make compilation and usage of custom libraries very easy. Sit back and watch the slide show. :)

The site module has two new options. The --user-base option prints the path to the user base directory to stdout. What is the second option?

--user-site

$ ~/dev/python/trunk/python -m site --help /home/heimes/dev/python/trunk/Lib/site.py [--user-base] [--user-site]

Without arguments print some useful information With arguments print the value of USER_BASE and/or USER_SITE separated by ':'.

Exit codes with --user-base or --user-site: 0 - user site directory is enabled 1 - user site diretory is disabled by user 2 - uses site directory is disabled by super user or for security reasons

2 - unknown error
