[New-bugs-announce] [issue14356] Distutils2 ignores site-local configuration

[Alex Grönholm]

New submission from Alex Grönholm <alex.gronholm+python at nextday.fi>:

Distutils2 seems to rely solely on a sysconfig.cfg shipped with distutils2 to get the path where to install packages.
Ignoring site-local configuration means that it won't work on Python distributions where the site configuration has been customized.

On Ubuntu, packages are supposed to go to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages but distutils2 tries to install them to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
