sys.platlibdir was introduced to install libraries in /usr/lib64 rather than /usr/lib. I'm not sure if it should be used to install libraries in $HOME/.local/lib64 rather than $HOME/.local/lib. Previously, Fedora already used $HOME/.local/lib and $HOME/.local/lib64 is not in the sys.path. Does the site module add $HOME/.local/lib64 to sys.path if it exists?
