No one should base production software on a beta release.

It's also the key difference between betas and release candidates. Seems that both you and Terry have missed the part where the sysconfig API is already part of 2.7, though.

I had missed that, yes*. I suspect Raymond may have missed it as well.

Cheers, Nick.

*(I sometimes lose track of which changes were made in both branches pre-2.7, which ones were mode post-2.7 release, and which ones went in pre-2.7, but were 3.x only regardless)
