We could, however that would not help people installing it as a regular user,
rather than as root.
If I run this right now, as an unprivileged user, I get the following path
returned:
>>> sysconfig.get_python_lib( plat_specific=True,standard_lib=False )
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages'
This will break installation for those doing development installations.
If instead the code were to take CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX into account (which it
should) then we get a valid result:
>>> sysconfig.get_python_lib( plat_specific=True,standard_lib=False,
prefix="/some/path" )
Note: i'm aware of ~/.local/ and virtualenv's, however those not working on
Python bindings may just prefer to set PYTHONPATH much like they already set
PATH - especially if they have multiple installations they switch between
(different Frameworks versions for instance).
'/some/path/lib/python2.7/site-packages'
Note that it's up to the user to set PYTHONPATH properly if they're
installing outside the usual directories searched by Python.
