New submission from Catherine Holloway :
On the page:
https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/sys.html#sys.prefix
the text says
The main collection of Python library modules is installed in the directory
prefix/lib/pythonX.Y while the platform independent header files (all except
pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include/pythonX.Y, where X.Y is the version
number of Python, for example 3.2.
However, this seems to only be true on *nix systems. On Windows, the lib and
header files are just in prefix/lib and prefix/include. Maybe the text should
be changed to say:
On linux, the main collection of Python library modules is installed in the
directory prefix/lib/pythonX.Y while the platform independent header files (all
except pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include/pythonX.Y, where X.Y is the
version number of Python, for example 3.2. On Winodws, there are in prefix/lib
and prefix/includes.
