Use the "venv" scheme if available to obtain prefixed lib paths

dnicolodi · dnicolodi · commit 19e802250e93 · 2022-11-16T22:40:52.000+01:00
get_prefixed_libs() computes the Python path for libraries in a pip isolation environment. Python 3.11 introduced the "venv" path scheme to be used in these cases. Use it if available. This solves a bug on Homebrew's Python 3.10 and later where the default paths scheme when Python is invoked outside a virtual environment is "osx_framework_library" and does not relative to the "{base}" or "{platbase}" variables. Fixes #11539.
