title: 'module' object has no attribute 'getusersitepackages'
body: <p>I am going through the <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/interpreter.html#the-customization-modules" rel="nofollow">python tutorial</a> and seem to be missing something very basic. The tutorial has:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import site
  &gt;&gt;&gt; site.getusersitepackages()
  '/home/user/.local/lib/python3.2/site-packages'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python
  Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Jun  9 2012, 11:30:32) 
  [GCC 4.5.3] on cygwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import site
  &gt;&gt;&gt; site.getusersitepackages()
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getusersitepackages'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As it says above, I am running <code>Python 2.6.8</code> on <code>cygwin</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Is this installation error? </p>
