-## Override python installation paths
-
-The `python` module now has options to control where modules are installed:
-- python.platlibdir: Directory for site-specific, platform-specific files.
-- python.purelibdir: Directory for site-specific, non-platform-specific files.
-
-Those options are used by python module methods `python.install_sources()` and
-`python.get_install_dir()`. By default Meson tries to detect the correct installation
-path, but make them relative to the installation `prefix`, which will often result
-in installed python modules to not be found by the interpreter unless `prefix`
-is `/usr` on Linux, or for example `C:\Python39` on Windows. These new options
-can be absolute paths outside of `prefix`.
