I would like to know if you would object to user lib installs matching the system install. I.e., would it cause problems with you if it were just 'lib' everywhere, with no 'lib/python{version}'? It sounded like adding the version directory was the issue. User lib installs don't bother me as I don't use them. But yes, it's the version directory that bothers me. So if you're proposing simply making the user lib install match the system install, both being lust "lib", then that's fine. I was somewhat confused about what you were proposing, that's all.

I was originally going to make it match posix-user installs, but just plain posix (no version directory) is just fine with me too.
