[gdal-dev] Installation prefix for Python bindings on MacOSX ?

[William Kyngesburye]

/Library/Python/[version]/site-packages is the standard user path for OS X.  /usr/lib is not in the python path.  Even if you add /usr/lib to the Travis setup, the installation will still be broken for general use.
