New submission from Phil Elson <pelson....@gmail.com>:
The documentation for site.getusersitepackages() states at https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/site.html#site.getusersitepackages: Return the path of the user-specific site-packages directory, USER_SITE. If it is not initialized yet, this function will also set it, respecting PYTHONNOUSERSITE and USER_BASE. Yet the implementation does not agree: ``` $ python -c "import site; print(site.getusersitepackages())" /home/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages $ PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 python -c "import site; print(site.getusersitepackages())" /home/user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages ``` (same result for -s and -I flags) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 374139 nosy: docs@python, pelson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: site.getusersitepackages() incorrectly claims that PYTHONNOUSERSITE is respected versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41376> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
