Miro Hrončok <m...@hroncok.cz> added the comment: In Fedora 36+ / Python 3.10+ we now use an install_scheme that looks like this:
'purelib': '{base}/local/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages', 'platlib': '{platbase}/local/{platlibdir}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages', 'scripts': '{base}/local/bin', 'data': '{base}/local', ... We got a user report [1] saying that `pip install --root ... --prefix /usr` the prefix is not respected at all. That is, users expect that /usr/local is the prefix, and when they explicitly set it to /usr, the /local/ bit will not be there, while in reality, /local/ is not a part of the prefix, but it is a part of the installation scheme. I can somehow relate to that assumption. Now I wonder whether we should have adapted prefix instead of the installation scheme :/ Any ideas on how to approach this problem? I am quite clueless.
