In Fedora, we have this:

/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python:%python_sitelib %(RPM_BUILD_ROOT= 
%{__python} -Esc "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib', 
vars={'platbase': '%{_prefix}', 'base': '%{_prefix}'}))")
/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python3:%python3_sitelib %(RPM_BUILD_ROOT= 
%{__python3} -Ic "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_path('purelib', 
vars={'platbase': '%{_prefix}', 'base': '%{_prefix}'}))")

This is a %define-style macro, so the macro gets re-evaluated for every
expansion.  It can make spec file operations really, really slow.

It's possible to work around this in spec files like this:

%{?python3_sitearch: %global python3_sitearch %{python3_sitearch}}

But this is quite ugly, and I wonder if there is a nice way to do it
directly in the macros file instead.  I think I know how do it with Lua,
but maybe there is a better way?

Thanks,
Florian
