The issue is that if `get_python_lib()` is called with `prefix='/usr/local'` argument then Ubuntu version returns: ``` sh $ /usr/bin/python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import *;print(get_python_lib(prefix='/usr/local'))" /usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages ```
while mainstream Python returns: ```sh $ python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import *;print(get_python_lib(prefix='/usr/local'))" /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages ``` `sys.path` (in both Ubuntu and mainstream Python) doesn't contain `/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages` path, it contains `/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages` instead, so when `/usr/local` prefix is used things don't work: ``` $ PYTHONPATH='' /usr/bin/python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.path)" ['', '/usr/lib/python36.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.6', '/usr/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/home/vital/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages'] ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814653 Title: get_python_lib() returns path to python3 instead of python3.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1814653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
