Message 79352 - Python tracker
IIUC, you are not the author of the patch (in the sense that you wrote the new code), but rather created a diff between Apple's code and Python's. In this case, we cannot accept the patch - it needs to be contributed by the authors (i.e. Apple). Furthermore, I fail to see how this patch can affect the places were Python searches for site-packages - it only deals with Python code that might need adjustment if Python would search in this other location. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
