I now understand why my script fails, and it is caused by this issue.
The sysconfig.py code has another major issue: the use of os.putenv. This
changes the environment, without changing os.environ. The use of os.putenv
should be replaced by setting keys in os.environ to make it easier to discover
that changes have been made.
Even that is no good: setting the environment variable should only be done in
distutils to ensure that the right build environment is used. It should not be
set globally where it will affect code that it was never intended to affect.
BTW. Sridhar: could this be the reason you cannot find the correct reproduction
steps for this? Do you use a build script that is writting in python and run
with a copy of python where
sysconfig.get_config_var('MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET') returns '10.3'?
