[issue7299] setup.py install doesn't honor PYTHONUSERBASE

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko [at] debian>:

Got an user report about setup.py install not honoring PYTHONUSERBASE.
Is this by design? If not, the attached patch seems to implement this
functionality.

[issue7299] setup.py install doesn't honor PYTHONUSERBASE [In reply to]

Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek [at] gmail> added the comment:

install_userbase is using USER_BASE which is in site.py.

This value is initialized when Python starts, and does check for
PYTHONUSERBASE in the environ. (if ENABLE_USER_SITE is true)

If this doesn't happen, this is most likely because the user can't write
to its .local.

If he can, you need to debug the Python starting process (site.main())
to see why it's not used.
