Just after the branch for os.name == "mac", the OS/2 code also uses PREFIX:

elif os.name == "os2": if standard_lib: return os.path.join(PREFIX, "Lib") else: return os.path.join(PREFIX, "Lib", "site-packages")

Should this be fixed, too?

Only if you want to break Distutils on OS/2, which I'd prefer you didn't because it works nicely just as is. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew MacIntyre \ E-mail: andrew.macintyre@aba.gov.au Planning & Licensing Branch \ Tel: +61 2 6256 2812 Australian Broadcasting Authority \ Fax: +61 2 6253 3277 -> "These thoughts are mine alone!" <----------------------------------
