New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
Currently, the user site packages on Windows is %APPDATA%\Python\PythonXY. This
can cause conflicts between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the runtime.
We should switch the pattern to Python{sys.winver}, which is XY or XY-32, the
same as elsewhere.
This is a breaking change to tools that try to manage these directly, but it
shouldn't need a deprecation cycle (there isn't really anywhere to raise a
warning...). So I think we can just update Lib/sysconfig.py and Lib/site.py for
3.10, as well as the docs.
