[Bug 1204541] Re: Python sysconfig._get_makefile_filename() fails inside a virtualenv

[Christian Schneider]

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. I have, however, another server with the
same python and ubuntu versions where I can easily install virtualenvs
under /usr/local; the difference is the version of virtualenv 1.7.1.2
(good) vs. 1.10 (bad). So it seems to be an issue with virtualenv.

Title:
  Python sysconfig._get_makefile_filename() fails inside a virtualenv

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When Python is running inside a virtualenv located in
  /usr/local/app/env/ sysconfig._get_makefile_filename() fails on the
  first call.

  It incorrectly strips "/local" from the path name, trying to read it's
  makefile from /usr/app/

  The line in question appears to be:

  return
  os.path.join(get_path('platstdlib').replace("/usr/local","/usr",1),
  "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile")

  I am running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with python version 2.7.3-0ubuntu3.2
