I’ve looked into it and converting the test to distutils.sysconfig is not trivial: the get_path function is wholly different in distutils, and I’m not even sure it’s possible to get the paths like test_sysconfig does. > 2) How to prevent a regression?

If this can’t happen, let us not worry about it :) ---------- title: test_sysconfig failure with site-packages -> test_sysconfig failure when prefix matches /site versions: +Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10086> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
