[Scons-users] pip installation directory includes the version number

[RW]

I've no objection to the version string being different for non-released

it's just the fact the version string is added to the directory name when
installed via pip under site-packages

I'll see if I can figure out where to patch the source, it's probably
somewhere within setup.py
