site.py uses sysconfig (and sysconfigdata, _osx_support) module for user-site package. But sysconfig module is not so lightweight, and very rarely used. Actually speaking, only tests and distutils uses sysconfig in stdlibs. And it takes about 7% of startup time, only for searching user-site path. I tried to port minimal subset of sysconfig into site.py (GH-136). But 'PYTHONFRAMEWORK' is only in sysconfigdata. So I couldn't get rid sysconfig dependency completely. How can I do to solve this? a) Drop "osx_framework_user" (`~/Library/Python/3.7/`) support completely. b) Add "sys._osx_framework" attribute c) Create minimal sysconfigdata only for site.py d) anything else?
