Package: python3
Version: 3.4.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Problem:
The automake `AM_PATH_PYTHON` will install python3 files to incorrect
folder `/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages` which cause installed python3
module unusable.
Root cause:
automake `/usr/share/aclocal-1.14/python.m4` use this command for python3
folder:
sitedir = sysconfig.get_path('purelib', vars={'base':'$am_py_prefix'})
Reproduce steps:
python3 -c "import sysconfig;
print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib', vars={'platbase':'/usr'}))"
Results:
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Expected result:
/usr/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
Extra info:
Also tested on debian testing(stretch/sid) with python3.5.2-6.
Got the same failure.
