CherryPy installation

[Alan Harris-Reid]

Hi there,

I note from my CherryPy installation (in my case using
CherryPy-3.2.0rc1-py3.win32.exe) that it creates 2 CherryPy folders.
a) C:\Program Files\Python31\CherryPy\ has subfolders scaffold, test,
tutorial.
b) C:\Program Files\Python31\Lib\Site-Packages\CherryPy\ has
subfolders lib,process,scaffold,test,tutorial,wsgiserver.
The latter folder appears to have all the source code, but what is the
other one for?

Personally I think a) is a much more intuitive path for the CherryPy
root folder. Is it easy to change to it from the default installation
or is it too risky? Is it simply a matter of creating a mirror image
of the source subfolders under ..\site-packages? Is it easy to change
the default path settings?

Thanks,
Alan

All installed packages belong in lib\site-packages. That's been a
Python standard since Python 1. That's where the "import" path looks.
I don't understand where the (a) folder came from. It may be an
accidental leftover.
