You can currently point the python interpreter to a different install say via export PYTHONHOME=<Prefix> export PYTHONPATH=<Prefix>/lib/python3.9 python3 With the newly added platlibdir [1], if python was configured with platlibdir=lib64, this will break because i.e. the site-packages dir as returned by `sysconfig.get_paths()` will use lib64 and not lib as the other install may be using. This PR adds the possibility to override the platlibdir via environment variable. Full rationale: [2].
