/* 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 defined 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 one or more slashs in it, it is used
* unchanged. 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 $PATH environment
* variable), the original argv[0] string is used.
*
* Next, the executable location is examined to see if it is a symbolic
* link. If so, the link is chased (correctly interpreting a relative
* pathname if one is found) and the directory of the link target is used.
*
* Finally, argv0_path is set to the directory containing the executable
* (i.e. the last component is stripped).
*
* With argv0_path in hand, we perform a number of steps. The same steps
* are performed for prefix and for exec_prefix, but with a different
* landmark.
*
* Step 1. Are we running python out of the build directory? This is
* checked by looking for a different kind of landmark relative to
* argv0_path. For prefix, the landmark's path is derived from the VPATH
* preprocessor variable (taking into account that its value is almost, but
* not quite, what we need). For exec_prefix, the landmark is
* Modules/Setup. If the landmark is found, we're done.
*
* For the remaining steps, the prefix landmark will always be
* lib/python$VERSION/os.py and the exec_prefix will always be
* lib/python$VERSION/lib-dynload, 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 step 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.
*
* That's it!
*
* Well, almost. Once we have determined prefix and exec_prefix, the
* preprocessor 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 $PYTHONPATH is inserted in front of it all. Finally, the
* prefix and exec_prefix globals are tweaked so they reflect the values
* expected by other code, by stripping the "lib/python$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.
