[New-bugs-announce] [issue6087] distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib gives surprising result when used with a Python build

[Vinay Sajip]

New submission from Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk>:

When used with a build from source (i.e. non-installed) of Python,
get_python_lib gives the result (on Linux)

[prefix]/lib/python[version]

Shouldn't this be [prefix]/Lib?

Note that get_python_inc() returns "Include". That's because it makes
use of the "python_build" flag which is set for builds from source.
