Today I was browsing couple django extensions to check if there is any new useful stuff around. I saw couple questions in those WiKis/forums about site-packages folder under OSX. For those who don’t know which site-packages folder is active in your system, you must consider how your system is configured. Especially if you’re using MacPorts or any tool like that, your default site-packages folder that is shipped with OS X might be different than what you’re presuming.

Anyways, here is how I solved my problem after a little googling.
