Hi all:

I don't have access to a mac anymore so I need somebody with Mac
access to answer this question.

In https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551169 setup.py gets into
an infinite loop while trying to find a place to put roundup's shared
files (templates, man pages, locales).

Currently setup.py obtains the platform library directory and removes
the last element until it removes a directory called lib. The idea is
that the directory called lib will have a sibling directory called
share where roundup can put its shared files.

However not all platform library directories have a component called
lib. Sometimes it's called lib64.

So my question to Mac users is if you run this:

  from sysconfig import get_path
  print(get_path('platlib')) 

is there a directory called 'share' that is the directory under which
man pages are located.

E.G. On ubuntu

% python -c 'from sysconfig import get_path; print(get_path("platlib"))'
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

and /usr/local/share/man exists.

Thanks for any info you can provide. When you look into this plese
include the Mac OS version and the hardware platform (M1 or intel)
mac.

Have a great week.
