| ## Override python installation paths |
| |
| The `python` module now has options to control where modules are installed: |
| - python.platlibdir: Directory for site-specific, platform-specific files. |
| - python.purelibdir: Directory for site-specific, non-platform-specific files. |
| |
| Those options are used by python module methods `python.install_sources()` and |
| `python.get_install_dir()`. By default Meson tries to detect the correct installation |
| path, but make them relative to the installation `prefix`, which will often result |
| in installed python modules to not be found by the interpreter unless `prefix` |
| is `/usr` on Linux, or for example `C:\Python39` on Windows. These new options |
| can be absolute paths outside of `prefix`. |
