Issue 19360: test_site fails when installed into $HOME/.local (original) (raw)

If I configure Python with "$HOME/.local" as a prefix, test_site fails:

====================================================================== FAIL: test_s_option (test.test_site.HelperFunctionsTests)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/antoine/cpython/opt/Lib/test/test_site.py", line 182, in test_s_option self.assertEqual(rc, 0) AssertionError: 1 != 0

This is because the user site then falls in the same place as the "main" site-packages:

site.getsitepackages() ['/home/antoine/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages', '/home/antoine/.local/lib/site-python'] site.getusersitepackages() '/home/antoine/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages'

(what is "site-python" btw??)
