[Distutils] Distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler wrong ?

[rupert.thurner]

are you sure you are not violating something here? the documentation
on http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html says:

"
distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler(compiler)¶

    Do any platform-specific customization of a
distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler instance.

    This function is only needed on Unix at this time, but should be
called consistently to support forward-compatibility. It inserts the
information that varies across Unix flavors and is stored in Python’s
Makefile. This information includes the selected compiler, compiler
and linker options, and the extension used by the linker for shared
objects.

This function is even more special-purpose, and should only be used
from Python’s own build procedures.
"

the packager of our operating systems python had the compiler in /opt/
studio/... but we do not.
