+    $ python -m sysconfig
+    Platform: "macosx-10.4-i386"
+    Python version: "3.2"
+    Current installation scheme: "posix_prefix"
+
+    Paths:
+            data = "/usr/local"
+            include = "/Users/tarek/Dev/svn.python.org/py3k/Include"
+            platinclude = "."
+            platlib = "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-packages"
+            platstdlib = "/usr/local/lib/python3.2"
+            purelib = "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-packages"
