In practice, ~/.local/lib/ is used on Fedora, even if posix_user scheme uses ~/.local/lib64/. Examples: * pure Python: ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/__main__.py * C extension: ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/typed_ast/_ast3.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so So changing posix_user should have no impact on end users. I also tested a legacy "python3 setup.py install" to install a C extension, it also lands into ~/.local/lib: ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/test_cext-0.0.0-py3.7-linux-x86_64.egg/test_cext.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so The setup.py uses setuptools.

Yeah, it seems like pip install adopted Debian multiarch naming: "x86_64-linux-gnu" triplet in "_ast3.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so" filename. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue1294959> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
