Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:
getusersitepackages() and getuserbase() don't take ENABLE_USER_SITE into account. The function simply return the location of the user site-package directory independently of the value of ENABLE_USER_SITE. The check for ENABLE_USER_SITE and modification of sys.path occurs later. The design allows applications to get the hypothetical path for user site-packages independently from the ENABLE_USER_SITE flag. The API is mature, old, and around since Python 2.6. We can't change it without breaking backwards compatibility. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38238> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
