Currently, we define the following macros: %python3_sitelib %(%{__python3} -Ic "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") %python3_sitearch %(%{__python3} -Ic "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))") %python_sitelib %(%{__python} -Esc "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") %python_sitearch %(%{__python} -Esc "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))") But distutils is deprecated in Python 3.10: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0632/ We should switch the macros to sysconfig before we introduce Python 3.10+. A backwards compatible change landed in Fedora Rawhide in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/96 Let's let it sink in Rawhide for a while and backport it to RHEL 9. I think it is safer to do it before Beta (in case of an unexpected breakage) but this can eventually land even after RHEL 9.0.
