[New-bugs-announce] [issue42613] freeze.py doesn't support sys.platlibdir different than lib nor multiarch

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

Tools/freeze/freeze.py doesn't support config directory using multiarch nor directory using a sys.platlibdir different than "lib". In short, it doesn't work on Fedora 33 which uses:

/usr/lib64/python3.10/config-3.10-x86_64-linux-gnu/

It might be possible to copy/paste the code creating the config-xxx path from Lib/sysconfig.py to Tools/freeze/freeze.py, but I would prefer to reuse code if possible, to make the code more sustainable.

Maybe we can add a private function to get the path to the "config" directory.

Or even a public function.
