"python2.7 -m sysconfig" at the moment does not print anything. "python2.7 -m site", for instant, prints useful information. Perhaps the output of `sysconfig.get_path` can be pretty printed?

You mean get_paths ? It could also print out get_config_vars() output

Yes, get_paths(). It could also print get_config_vars(), yes. If you want to make it sophisticated you could support arguments/options using the 'argparse' module. :)

weird, just realized "python -m site" doesn't print anything for me.. > If you want to make it sophisticated you could support arguments/options using the 'argparse' module. :) Let's add the simplest case at first ;)

Add get_paths()'s output seems reasonable and simple enough, also we could make the output format prettier.
