...but then sys.platlibdir is going to incorrectly list 'lib', isn't it? According to https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/sys.html#sys.platlibdir it's used 'to build the path of platform-specific dynamic libraries and the path of the standard library'. This means that people relying on it for the former will get 32-bit libraries instead. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue1294959> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
