With the recent distutils revert, code that was removed from distutils.sysconfig is now back. This causes an unfortunate code duplication that raises maintenance cost (see msg116087 for an example). Even if distutils is feature-frozen, I think that it should be changed to use the sysconfig module again. Think about it that way: The new feature is sysconfig itself, this does not break the distutils freeze since compatibility would be retained. |

That's what I wanted to do first but it turned out to be a bad idea. This duplication is unfortunate but the freeze is also to prevent third party code that patches distutils to break. For instance, there's a lot of code out there that just patches distutils.sysconfig paths... So changing it would break them. |

I understand. This means that sysconfig fixes will have to be ported to distutils.sysconfig and d2/sysconfig. |

Not in distutils2 because we want to get rid of it, thats the whole point. distutils2 will use the sysconfig module I've extracted from distutils. |

By “d2/sysconfig” I meant d2._backport.sysconfig. |
