Subject: distutils --install-lib=PATHNAME for packagers ease of handling python library (now part of BIND)

As reported to ISC Support: ---- Just to let you know we have run into a small hitch with packaging BIND 9.10.5 as it has added a python library which would currently be installed into site-packages/isc. For our distribution we are seeking to have that installed into vendor-packages/isc. In addition to changing the pathname we can see that we shall have to patch two python files that currently hard code 'site-packages'. ---- > Looks like we can use distutils --install-lib=PATHNAME to our advantage. > Patch file attached.

(The branch adds a new configure option, --with-python-install-dir. It takes an absolute path as its argument as that is what the --install-lib option for setup.py uses. The code in rt45407 is the simplest way I could think of to properly handle all of the following cases: 1. --prefix not specified, --with-python-install-dir not specified 2. --prefix specified, --with-python-install-dir not specified 3. --prefix not specified, --with-python-install-dir specified 4. --prefix specified, --with-python-install-dir specified where "proper handling" means "assuring the installed Python utilities are usable".)
