I was pointing at the actual code that distutils uses when installing where as you're pointing at a module that independently lists an over-lapping set of data: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/005d0678f93c/Lib/sysconfig.py#l21 http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/005d0678f93c/Lib/distutils/command/install.py#l28 For example sysconfig defines a scheme 'osx_framework_user' that doesn't appear in distutils.command.install and uses slightly different paths from posix_user. Does that mean that it is inconsistent with what distutils would do?
