Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: When ~/.local/lib was chosen for the user directory, the BaseDir Spec was given as prior example. Why not go the full way and follow the spec? The config file could be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/python/distutils, with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaulting to ~/.config.
