Is this because you're thinking of the binary releases of Zope?

If you're using the reportlab libraries, then you've probably 
installed them into /usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages (ie you're 
used to using source distributions). If you can do that, you're 
probably ok with putting PIL into lib/python/shared. So why not have 
it in site-packages?

Or have I missed something obvious (I probably have - it's been a looong day).
