16287	Clarify installation documents relating to location of site-packages	Daniele Procida	nobody	"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/install/ assumes that Django will be installed into a site-packages directory, but this isn't a reliable assumption.

Notably, Debian, Ubuntu etc will put it into a dist-packages directory, and the tip to use:

{{{
python -c ""from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()""
}}}

won't help.

I think that this would be worth noting briefly to help avoid confusion. If that seems appropriate, let me know and I will submit a documentation patch."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.3	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
