Yes, it should be there.

Hey thanks Ned, sysconfig was exactly what I was looking for when I was reading 
the sys documentation.

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Ned, I like your idea.  In particular, link to sysconfig.get_paths for how 
prefix is used on a particular machine to define installation paths.

Sidenote:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sysconfig.html#installation-paths
says "Python currently supports seven schemes:" and lists 5  get_scheme_names 
list 6, with the extra one being
'osx_framework_user'.  Would
  osx_framework_user: scheme for macOS
be a satisfactory entry?

Are you talking about Include/cpython/ and Include/internal/ subdirectories?

> Should 'include' be augmented with 'or its subdirectories'?

You can add it if you want.

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily  added the comment:

Which installations paths are used varies on other factors besides platform. 
Rather than duplicate information here, I suggest simplifying the sys.prefix 
doc here by removing the details about installation paths and instead refer to 
the Installation Paths section of the sysconfig module documentation, which 
should be the primary reference for this info:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sysconfig.html#installation-paths

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

On Windows, I believe the correct sentence would be "On Windows, they are in 
prefix/Lib and prefix/include".  Ned, how to complete "On macOS, they are in ?."

Victor, with recent file movement, is "while the platform independent header 
files (all except pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include" still true?  In 
what way is pyconfig.h exceptional?  Should 'include' be augmented with 'or its 
subdirectories'?
