Dear List,

In all previous versions of python, I've been able to install packages
into the path:

~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages

but in the rc builds of python 3.3 this is no longer part of sys.path.

Before I go hacking the install, is there a reason that this path was
removed?  Is there a recommended way to get it back, or is this a
gentle way of pushing us all to use virtualenv rather than installing
user-specific packages?

Best wishes,

Nicholas
