get_python_lib supports an optional prefix argument:
If 'prefix' is supplied, use it instead of sys.prefix or
sys.exec_prefix -- i.e., ignore 'plat_specific'.
However the NT and OS2 platforms don't use the prefix argument when
specified.
This problem was brought up a while ago here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2002-November/003099.html
Andrew (the OS2 maintainer) claimed in the thread that fixing this would
break OS2, but I don't see how. All callers of get_python_lib in the
stdlib don't specify a prefix anyway. Anyone calling it with a prefix
and expecting it not to be used is broken.

The patch looks fine to me. I'll send a mail to Andrew to ask him for a demonstration, and wait a week to commit it. |
