In 3.10, you should be able to work around the problem for the venv
site-packages directory by setting the environment variable "PYTHONPLATLIBDIR"
to "Lib". This sets sys.platlibdir, which the site module uses to create the
site-packages directory. The default value is "lib", which isn't properly
capitalized.
In 3.11, sys.platlibdir defaults to "DLLs" in Windows, and the site module
ignores this attribute. However, the site module does hard code the properly
capitalized value "Lib".
In POSIX, sys.platlibdir (e.g. "lib" or "lib64") is a common base directory for
the standard library and its extension modules. It isn't just the directory for
extension modules, as might be implied by changing the value to "DLLs" in
Windows. The "DLLs" directory in Windows Python is split off from "Lib" (for
some legacy reason, I suppose), so Windows would need separate sys.platlibdir
("Lib") and sys.platextdir ("DLLs") values, if that mattered, which it doesn't
since the names are fixed.
