Any thoughts? Should I go ahead and open a bug report (maybe with patch), or is this controversial? I can accept that the Mac does it differently, although I think the rationale for doing that is dangerous: you shouldn't really attempt to share extension modules across Python versions.

My explanation seems to be bad, I meant to say sharing extensions across different builds of the same Python version. One might install a normal unix build in /opt/python and a framework build in /Library/Frameworks.

This is not as important now as it was when Python 2.3.x was state of
the art, then you could have a python 2.3.x framework both in /System/Library/Frameworks (provided by Apple) and in /Library/ Frameworks (build yourself or downloaded the official MacPython binaries). Those
would share the same site-packages directory (/Library/Python/2.3).
