Bigger projects used system packaging tools to release their work—whether it was Debian packages, RPM packages for Red Hat Linux distributions, or MSI packages under Windows. Eventually, the Python modules from those projects all ended up in the site-packages directory of the Python installation, sometimes after a compilation phase, if they had a C extension.
