[Distutils] [Python-Dev] packaging location ?

Added as Distribution.check_installed_files() in distlib repo[1]. Docstring:

"""
Checks that the hashes and sizes of the files in ``RECORD`` are
matched by the files themselves. Returns a (possibly empty) list of
mismatches. Each entry in the mismatch list will be a tuple consisting
of the path, 'exists', 'size' or 'hash' according to what didn't match
(existence is checked first, then size, then hash), the expected
value and the actual value.
"""
