I would like it to do something like this: [[x for i in range(3) if j <= 1: x=1 else x=2] for j in range(3)] so it should return something like: [[1,1,1], [1,1,1], [2,2,2]] How might I go about doing this?

Hi, I am trying to work on a dev environment but am find problems in that python seems to be using modules from the site-packages directory. I want it to be using the modules from my dev directory. sys.path returns a bunch of dirs, like this ['', '/usr/lib/python26.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib...

I have an open source project containing both Python and C code. I'm wondering that is there any use for distutils for me, because I'm planning to do a ubuntu/debian package.
