+/* Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.
+ *
+ * Two directories must be found, the platform independent directory
+ * (prefix), containing the common .py and .pyc files, and the
+ * platform dependent directory (exec_prefix), containing the shared
+ * library modules. Note that prefix and exec_prefix can be the same
+ * directory, but for some installations, they are different.
+ *
+ * Py_GetPath() carries out separate searches for prefix and
+ * exec_prefix. Each search tries a number of different locations
+ * until a ``landmark'' file or directory is found. If no prefix or
+ * exec_prefix is found, a warning message is issued and the
+ * preprocessor defines PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX are used (even though
+ * they will not work); python carries on as best as is possible, but
+ * most imports will fail.
+ *
+ * Before any searches are done, the location of the executable is
+ * determined. If argv[0] has a slash in it (or more), this is it;
+ * otherwise, it must have been invoked from the shell's path, so we
+ * search $PATH for the named executable and use that. If the
+ * executable was not found on $PATH (or there was no $PATH
+ * environment variable), the original argv[0] string is used.
+ *
+ * Next, either the executable location is examined to see if it is a
+ * symbolic link. If so, the link is chased (correctly interpreting a
+ * relative pathname if one is found) and the directory of the link
+ * target is used as instead.
+ *
+ * Finally, argv0_path is set to the directory containing the
+ * executable (i.e. the last component is stripped).
+ *
+ * With argv0_path in hand, we perform a number of steps. The same
+ * steps are performed for prefix and for exec_prefix, but with a
+ * different landmark.
+ *
+ * Step 1. Are we running python out of the build directory? This is
+ * checked by looking for a different kind of landmark relative to
+ * argv0_path. For prefix, the landmark's path is derived from the
+ * VPATH preprocessor variable (taking into account that its value is
+ * almost, but not quite, what we need). If the landmark is found,
+ * we're done.
+ *
+ * For the remaining steps, the prefix landmark will always be
+ * lib/python$VERSION/string.py and the exec_prefix will always be
+ * lib/python$VERSION/sharedmodules, where $VERSION is Python's
+ * version number as supplied by the Makefile. Note that this means
+ * that no more build directory checking is performed; if the first
+ * two steps did not find the landmarks, the assumption is that python
+ * is running from an installed setup.
+ *
+ * Step 2. See if the $PYTHONHOME environment variable points to the
+ * installed location of the Python libraries. If $PYTHONHOME is set,
+ * then it points to prefix and exec_prefix. $PYTHONHOME can be a
+ * single directory, which is used for both, or the prefix and
+ * exec_prefix directories separated by a colon.
+ *
+ * Step 3. Try to find prefix and exec_prefix relative to argv0_path,
+ * backtracking up the path until it is exhausted. This is the most
+ * common step to succeed. Note that if prefix and exec_prefix are
+ * different, exec_prefix is more likely to be found; however if
+ * exec_prefix is a subdirectory of prefix, both will be found.
+ *
+ * Step 4. Search the directories pointed to by the preprocessor
+ * variables PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX. These are supplied by the
+ * Makefile but can be passed in as options to the configure script.
+ *
+ * Step 5. Search some `standard' directories, namely: /usr/local,
+ * /usr, then finally /.
+ *
+ * That's it! Well, almost. Once we have determined prefix and
+ * exec_prefix, the preprocesor variable PYTHONPATH is used to
+ * construct a path. Each relative path on PYTHONPATH is prefixed
+ * with prefix. Then the directory containing the shared library
+ * modules is appended. The environment variable $PYTHONPATH is
+ * inserted in front of it all. Finally, the prefix and exec_prefix
+ * globals are tweaked so the reflect the values expected by other
+ * code, by stripping the "lib/python$VERSION/..." stuff off. If
+ * either points to the build directory, the globals are reset to the
+ * corresponding preprocessor variables (so sys.prefix will reflect
+ * the installation location, even though sys.path points into the
+ * build directory). This seems to make more sense given that
+ * currently the only known use of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix is
+ * for the ILU installation process to find the installed Python tree. */
