[issue36383] In Windows 10 virtual environments distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc() reports base Python include directory

[Mark Campanelli]

New submission from Mark Campanelli <campanelli at resonon.com>:

On Windows 10 64bit, using virtualenv in Python 2.7.15 or venv in Python 3.7.2, calling distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc() returns the path to the include directory for the (respective) Python base installation instead of the include directory installed with the virtual environment. This happens regardless of the True/False value of the  plat_specific argument. I would expect the virtual environment's include directory to be returned.
