[New-bugs-announce] [issue21613] Installer for mac doesn't store the installation location

[Artem Ustinov]

New submission from Artem Ustinov:

I'm trying to automate the Python uninstallation on mac but I've found that the actual installation location is not stored for Python packages.
That location is required since the pkgutil keeps track of installed files (if you run $ pkgutil --files org.python.Python.PythonFramework-3.4) but doesn't store the absolute paths for that files.


1. Run $ pkgutil --pkgs=.*Python.*3\.4
Here's the expected output
org.python.Python.PythonApplications-3.4
org.python.Python.PythonDocumentation-3.4
org.python.Python.PythonFramework-3.4
org.python.Python.PythonInstallPip-3.4
org.python.Python.PythonProfileChanges-3.4
org.python.Python.PythonUnixTools-3.4

2. Run $ pkgutil --pkg-info org.python.Python.PythonFramework-3.4
Here's the output
package-id: org.python.Python.PythonFramework-3.4
version: 3.4.1
volume: /
location: (null)
install-time: 1401373546

Actual Result: The location property is (null)
Expected Result: The location property should be '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework'
