Sorry, maybe I used confusing terminology.

A reference is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python This is the current setup. For example, this is a standard macro used by Redhat in RPM SPEC files for python: _%define pythonsitearch %(%{python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import getpythonlib; print getpythonlib(1)")} _%define pythonsitelib %(%{python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import getpythonlib; print getpythonlib()")} Clearly this practice is widespread. It would seem that module search needs some modification to fully support it.

Ah. That isn't supported at all, at the moment. Redhat should not be using it. Instead, there shouldn't be a difference between sitearch and sitelib.
