Subjectis sysconfig.get_path('purelib') local ?
Message-ID<EZ8SS-3tGh-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hello,
  
in the current Sid (Python 3.10.6),

$ python3 -c "import sysconfig; print (sysconfig.get_path('purelib'));"

gives

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages

I suspect that it formaly gave (< Python 3.10.6)

/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages


What is actually the expected answer ?

Cheers,
Jerome

Correct, see:

You want to propagate the change to /usr/share/aclocal/ax_python_devel.m4
distributed in autoconf-archive .
(I localized the error there.)

Otherwise, is there any keyword to get /usr/lib/python<PV>/dist-packages
via sysconfig.get_path ? May we pass 'distlib' ?
I guess it would be useful.

Cheers,
Jerome

Can you point at a package that FTBFS because of this? Or something
easily reproducible. It's really useful to have test cases, when
changing code you've never seen before.

I read it and it sounds reasonable. It is a Python approach. For configurations based on autotools,
it appears that the AX_PYTHON_DEVEL macro defined in ax_python_devel.m4 is currently lost.

hth,
Jerome

My brand new package graph-tool [1] that experienced a FTBFS during
what should be a quiet 'Upload to unstable'.

Thanks, that's a beast of a package that wanted *all* my memory when
building with parallel=16 :)

But it gave me a good starting point to drive the autoconf macro.

Filed: https://bugs.debian.org/1018298 (and forwarded it upstream)
