- Return the *exec-prefix* for installed platform-*dependent* files. This is

example, if the
- program name is ``'/usr/local/bin/python'``, the exec-prefix is

- argument to the :program:`configure` script at build time. The value is
- available to Python code as ``sys.base_exec_prefix``. It is only useful on
- Unix.
-
- Background: The exec-prefix differs from the prefix when platform dependent
- files (such as executables and shared libraries) are installed in a
different
- directory tree. In a typical installation, platform dependent files may be
- installed in the :file:`/usr/local/plat` subtree while platform independent
may
- be installed in :file:`/usr/local`.
-
- Generally speaking, a platform is a combination of hardware and software
- families, e.g. Sparc machines running the Solaris 2.x operating system are
- considered the same platform, but Intel machines running Solaris 2.x are
another
- platform, and Intel machines running Linux are yet another platform.
Different
- major revisions of the same operating system generally also form different
- platforms. Non-Unix operating systems are a different story; the
installation
- strategies on those systems are so different that the prefix and
exec-prefix are
- meaningless, and set to the empty string. Note that compiled Python bytecode
- files are platform independent (but not independent from the Python version
by
- which they were compiled!).
-
- System administrators will know how to configure the :program:`mount` or
- :program:`automount` programs to share :file:`/usr/local` between platforms
- while having :file:`/usr/local/plat` be a different filesystem for each
- platform.
