sysconfig assumes there will be a makefile if the platform is posix, which isn't always true. For example IronPython on Mac OS X with mono. This leads to a traceback on startup with IronPython 2.7: $ ipy27 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/site.py", line 548, in <module> File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/site.py", line 530, in main File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/site.py", line 264, in addusersitepackages File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/site.py", line 239, in getusersitepackages File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/site.py", line 229, in getuserbase File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 518, in get_config_var File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 421, in get_config_vars File "/Second/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 275, in _init_posix IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /Volumes/Second Drive/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (Could not find a part of the path "/Volumes/Second Drive/michael/Downloads/IronPython-2.7/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile".)IronPython 2.7 Beta 1 (2.7.0.10) on .NET 4.0.30319.1 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> |

PyPy has exactly the same issue. PyPy's workaround is to have a custom version of sysconfig.py, but this is really a hack. If these config_vars are really determined at compile time, IMO they should be built in the interpreter (in a _sysconfig module?). This would even work on non-posix platforms. |

Yes that's what we said we would do, and was the second step after the extraction of sysconfig from distutils. |

I suggest this bug is superseded by #9878. |

No, issue 9878 can't be implemented for Python 2.7 whereas the issues other implementations have with sysconfig *could* still be resolved in 2.7 as a bugfix. (Specifically for IronPython on Mac OS X it would mean not assuming that being on a posix platform means there is a Makefile.) |
