[Bug 1838866] Re: Mailman 2.1: hardcoded site-packages dir prefix doesn't work on some 64 bit filesystem layouts

[Mark Sapiro]

I have now looked at the code for site.getsitepackages() at
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/site.py#L319 and it
seems no better than what's in paths.py.in, so I'm not sure this will be
effective unless your distro hacks site.py. Is that the case?

It appears Ubuntu does hack site.getsitepackages() to actually return
['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages'].

I am reluctant to do anything without a better understanding of what
site.getsitepackages() returns in various distros.
