/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

is preferable.

The location depends on whether the user has a framework Python or a normal static Python installed. For GUI programs, a framework Python is preferable. For the Mac/README in the Python source distribution:

1. Why would I want a framework Python instead of a normal static Python?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main reason is because you want to create GUI programs in Python. With the exception of X11/XDarwin-based GUI toolkits all GUI programs need to be run from a fullblown MacOSX application (a ".app" bundle).


(I'd like to add to this that X11/XDarwin-based GUI toolkits, such as PyGTK, also work fine with a framework Python).

From what I've seen, bdist_mpkg uses
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
if the Python creating the package is a framework Python.

Great, hopefully you can join us Saturday.   If there is anything in
particular you want to work on during the sprint, let me know.  As for
a BoF, I generally find discussions less useful than coding, since
python is such a great prototyping language, though there will be many
opportunities to brainstorm over beers, etc...  Are there topics in
particular you have in mind?

I'll be there on the ground, though my flight leaves 1:50 on Sunday.  We
might also consider doing some discussions during the week, maybe a BoF?
