Issue 19340: test_sysconfig.test_srcdir fails when sys.base_prefix="/" (original) (raw)

While working on , i noticed that test_srcdir fails when python is built with prefix "".

This is because in Lib/sysconfig.py, _safe_realpath() is called on srcdir which normalises //lib to /lib. In the test case, it is compared directly to the output of get_makefile_filename().
