The --user directory for framework installs of python on OSX has changed from a subdirectory of ~/.local to a subdirectory ~/Library. As described in the NEWS file:
- Issue #8084: PEP 370 now conforms to system conventions for framework
builds on MacOS X. That is, "python setup.py install --user" will install
into "~/Library/Python/2.7" instead of "~/.local".
In python 2.6 both ~/.local and ~/Library/Python were added to sys path and that's confusing. As ~/.local does not conform to the filesystem layout conventions on OSX the --user directory now always refers to ~/Library/Python.
For classic unix installs --user still uses the unix conventions. I'm not 100% sure that that is the right choice.
In other words: works as designed. |
