Is your Python really installed in /usr/lib/python3.8, or is that just the
libraries it includes? I would expect an installation in /usr to create
that directory, which seems more in line with most distros.

e.g. If you build Python 3.8 and install it to $INSTALLDIR, you'd end up
with the python3.8 directory being in $INSTALLDIR/lib/python3.8
