 /* Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.

  *
  * 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

+ * 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$VERSION/string.py and the exec_prefix will always be
- * lib/python$VERSION/sharedmodules, 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
- * two steps did not find the landmarks, the assumption is that python
- * is running from an installed setup.

+ * 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.

+ * 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.
