Distutils postinstall script: useless?

[Mardy]

Hi,
the bdist_wininst command of distutils allows me to specify a script to
be executed at the end of the installation. That's great, but how can I
know the installation path from inside the script?

I've already tried os.getcwd(), but it just return the directory where the
setup was started.

Answering to myself, sys.prefix combined with the dictionary
INSTALL_SCHEMES from distutils.commands.install might do the work.

See also the functions in distutils.sysconfig.
