So I completely broke my python. I am not really interested in fixing it, I am going to do a reinstall of my OS anyways.
This got me thinking however. How does a python install work on Linux? specifically: How are packages installed (What's with the site-packages and dist-packages directories)? How come that when I use sudo pip (I know I shouldn't do that) it uses a different version than the normal pip?
Those are just some things that peaked my interest however, it just seems like a magical black box to me right now.
My Linux distro is Ubuntu is that has an influence.
