New submission from Catherine Holloway <milan...@gmail.com>:
On the page: https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/sys.html#sys.prefix the text says The main collection of Python library modules is installed in the directory prefix/lib/pythonX.Y while the platform independent header files (all except pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include/pythonX.Y, where X.Y is the version number of Python, for example 3.2. However, this seems to only be true on *nix systems. On Windows, the lib and header files are just in prefix/lib and prefix/include. Maybe the text should be changed to say: On linux, the main collection of Python library modules is installed in the directory prefix/lib/pythonX.Y while the platform independent header files (all except pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include/pythonX.Y, where X.Y is the version number of Python, for example 3.2. On Winodws, there are in prefix/lib and prefix/includes. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 406168 nosy: CatherineH, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sys.prefix include directory on Windows type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45788> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
