PEP 582: Possible new API in sysconfig for paths/scheme #3013
Description
Right now PEP 582 asks for a new scheme in the sysconfig module. But, a possible another option is a new API (function) and then the tools will have to build up the whole scheme using it.
scheme = sysconfig.get_paths() | sysconfig.get_local_packages_paths()
Having a full scheme helps, but this is the option was suggested by @FFY00.

Should this be an issue on the PEPs repo, or would it be more appropriate as a CPython issue and/or Packaging Discourse discussion? At least historically, issues in the PEPs repo have mostly been used for meta items related to the PEPs process, infra, theme, etc. itself, and to document and discuss editorial defects in existing PEPs, whereas discussion of substantive changes to CPython or PEP content are directed elsewhere.

It could maybe be in then steering council repo also?

I'd suggest that this be on Kushal's fork's issue tracker instead.

I'm not sure the SC repo is the place to brainstorm new potential additions to a particular PEP— I would suggest only bringing it to the SC's attention if nessesary when submitting the PEP for final approval. As Pradyun suggested, Kushal's fork would be a great place for that.
