[issue21710] --install-base option ignored?

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Looking at the source code in distutils.command.installer, it seems the "--install-base" option is ignored, since it is always overwritten, either in finalize_unix() or finalize_other().

(I haven't tried to check this on the command line, though)
