Public bug reported:
Python version is Python 3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17)
Ubuntu 18.04.01
When I call get_python_lib() function to get the Python lib path to install a
module it returns '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages' instead of python3.6 dir:
python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import *;print(get_python_lib())"
This is because the source code '/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils/sysconfig.py' has
the branch on Ubuntu:
Code:
------------
if os.name == "posix":
libpython = os.path.join(prefix,
"lib", "python" + get_python_version())
if standard_lib:
return libpython
elif (is_default_prefix and
'PYTHONUSERBASE' not in os.environ and
'VIRTUAL_ENV' not in os.environ and
'real_prefix' not in sys.__dict__ and
sys.prefix == sys.base_prefix):
return os.path.join(prefix, "lib", "python3", "dist-packages")
------------
However, this code does not present in the original cpython code 3.6.7:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/ca7d2933a388677cc3bbc621913b479452c0f25a/Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py#L109
Is it the right behavior?
Why the get_python_lib() result should depend on PYTHONUSERBASE and
VIRTUAL_ENV and points to python3 instead of python3.6
