 From what I can tell /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages is the 
default. All I have in /Library/Frameworks are those such as Qt, CG 
and other things which I have installed. VirtualBox and PyQt both 
install to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
The README in /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages make reference to a 
site.py file for 'more information' on site packages. I am unsure what 
exactly is meant by this.
Might be worth seeing how PyQt or VirtualBox pull it off. Although I 
am unsure if the installer code for either is open source.
Regards, Freddie.

I tried testing the OSX binaries I built Friday on my local OSX laptop
today, and had a problem with the mkpg installer
http://drop.io/xortel1/asset/matplotlib-0-99-0-rc1-py2-5-macosx10-5-zip
On the sage box I used to do the builds, the default python path that
the installer picks up is
 /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
and this is where it put mpl when I ran the installer on my local box.
 But then when I try and import matplotlib on my local box w/o
modifying the PYTHONPATH, I can't find it because my local python is
looking in
 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
Is one of these two locations preferable for the default? Is there a
way to inform bdist_mkpg of the desired install target? Is there any
notion of the right way to do things w/ python on OSX?

Great -- give that we have JJ (remotely), you and me confirmed, two
obvious topics to work on are:
 * buildbot : JDH & Andrew
 * integrating JJ's curvilinear ticking w/ Andrew's spines
I'm up for anything else that people want to work on, but at least
we'll have the right people in the room, if only virtually, for these
topics. Anyone else planning on attending on-ground or on-line?

I'll be there, too. I think an MPL sprint would be very good.
