[issue25592] distutils docs: data_files always uses sys.prefix

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer:

The documentation for distutils claims that sys.exec_prefix is used in certain cases to install data_files, but this is simply not true (maybe it was true in the past or this sentence was copy/pasted from somewhere else?)
