I think you are confusing two different configuration sections in sysconfig.cfg:

[nt] stdlib = {base}/Lib platstdlib = {base}/Lib purelib = {base}/Lib/site-packages platlib = {base}/Lib/site-packages include = {base}/Include platinclude = {base}/Include scripts = {base}/Scripts data = {base} [ntuser] stdlib = {userbase}/Python{pyversionnodot} platstdlib = {userbase}/Python{pyversionnodot} purelib = {userbase}/Python{pyversionnodot}/site-packages platlib = {userbase}/Python{pyversionnodot}/site-packages include = {userbase}/Python{pyversionnodot}/Include scripts = {userbase}/Scripts data = {userbase}

I was lumping them together, yes, but now note that I modify the proposal to maintain this distinction. These would change to:

[nt] stdlib = {base}/lib platstdlib = {base}/lib purelib = {base}/lib/site-packages platlib = {base}/lib/site-packages include = {base}/include platinclude = {base}/include scripts = {base}/bin data = {base}

[nt_user] stdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short} platstdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short} purelib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages platlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages include = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}/include scripts = {userbase}/bin data = {userbase}
