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

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> added the comment:

N.B. without the sysconfig.py patch, sysconfig.get_path() fails, but differently.

With the patch, sysconfig.get_path('stdlib') and sysconfig.get_path('include') give the expected values, but _CONFIG_VARS['srcdir'] still seems wrong:

vinay at eta-jaunty:/tmp$ python3.2
Python 3.2a2+ (py3k:84759, Sep 13 2010, 05:14:55) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig._CONFIG_VARS['srcdir']
'/tmp'
>>> 

Someone please take a look!
