or if a user installs by dragging into site-packages instead of using an installer? Well... do people actually do this?

Yes. We do it all the time with unpackaged only-for-internal-use Python code.

I wouldn't expect it to work with random packages downloaded from the 'net, but it works fine for our own stuff (since it expects to be used this way).

Cheers, Nick.
