Python 2.7 introduced the `sysconfig` module which has a function `get_paths`
that returns the fully variable substituted path for the given scheme. This
doesn't seem like possible on 2.6 using `distutils.sysconfig` - as variable
substitution is done deep in a class method, and not exposed as a public API.
At the moment I am writing code like this:
scheme = 'nt' sys.platform == 'win32' else 'unix'
scheme += ('_user' if usersite else (
'_prefix' if scheme == 'unix' else ''))
template = INSTALL_SCHEMES[scheme][path]
# hardcoded template substitution (distutils API does not provide
# this)
template = template.replace('$base', base_dir)
template = template.replace('$py_version_short', pyver)
if '$user' in template:
template = template.replace('$usersite', site.USER_SITE)
template = template.replace('$userbase', site.USER_BASE)
assert '$' not in template, \
'Unsubstituded variables left in "%s"' % template
return template
Can this be simplified?
