The distutils.cfg file is located in the distutils package itself ! So the target is ~/.local/pythonX.X/site-packages/distutils/distutils.cfg (sorry if that was unclear) Now, I would totally agree to have a better ~/.NAME to reunite user-specific configuration file for Python, but that would be yet another directory for user-specific Python files.

Now, I would totally agree to have a better ~/.NAME to reunite
user-specific *configuration* file for Python, but that would be yet
another directory for user-specific Python files.
