+ # Bug 559644
+ # using PYTHONPATH when the ${BUILD_DIR}/lib is not created yet might
lead to
+ # problems in setup.py scripts that try to import modules/packages from
that path
+ # during the build process (Python at startup evaluates PYTHONPATH, if
the dir is
+ # not valid then associates a NullImporter object to ${BUILD_DIR}/lib
storing it
+ # in the sys.path_importer_cache)
+ mkdir -p "${BUILD_DIR}/lib" || die
+
# We need separate home for each implementation, for .pydistutils.cfg.
