New submission from Xavier de Gaye <xdeg...@gmail.com>:
In function finalize_options() of Lib/distutils/command/install.py at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/575d0b46d122292ca6e0576a91265d7abf7cbc3d/Lib/distutils/command/install.py#L284 (prefix, exec_prefix) is set using get_config_vars(). This may be incorrect when Python has been manually copied in another location from the location where it has been installed with 'make install'. We should use sys.prefix and sy.exec_prefix instead, those values are calculated by getpath.c instead of being retrieved from the sysconfigdata module. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 357678 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, xdegaye priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: incorrect prefix, exec_prefix in distutils.command.install type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38949> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
