<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I know I probably shouldn't be sending this to =
you.&nbsp; However, your name is plastered all over the distutils source =
and documentation so I figured you would be the logical person to send =
this patch to.&nbsp; I'll understand if you tell me to take a flying =
leap but it seemed like overkill to register at SourceForge for this one =
patch.&nbsp; I promise if this becomes a regular habit, I'll register at =
SourceForge and submit patches in the appropriate manner.&nbsp; I =
browsed the bug and patch managers and didn't see any patches or bug =
reports matching what I believe to be a bug in the get_python_lib() =
function in the distutils sysconfig.py file in the win32 version of =
Python 2.2.2.&nbsp; When os.name =3D=3D &quot;nt&quot; and sys.version =
&gt; 2.2, get_python_lib() always returns the absolute path when the =
plat_specific argument is true.&nbsp; Maybe I'm showing my ignorance but =
I'm guessing that get_python_lib(1,0,'') should return the relative path =
as it does for all the other cases.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Thanks for your patience.&nbsp; I know this doesn't =
get said nearly enough, thanks for the hard work you put into making =
Python the great language.</FONT></P>
