Python Vendor Configuration
Currently, several Python distributors modify the Python install layout. Making such modifications requires them to patch multiple standard library modules. The install layout is currently not meant to be a configurable option in a Python installation, but Python developers, distro packagers and module authors all have conflicting certain assumptions in this area. This has presented itself as problematic because Python distributors, understandably, fail to correctly modify all places required to satisfy all these assumptions, resulting in incoherent or straight-out broken Python distributions
