[issue39769] compileall.compile_dir(..., ddir="<prefix>") omits the intermediate package paths when prepending the prefix

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

This has probably been happening for many 3 releases.  I noticed it on 3.6 when investigating a problem with wrong paths in tracebacks coming from code which we used compileall.compile_dir(src_root, quiet=1, ddir="<prefix">) on.

I'm guessing ddir= (-d on the cli) isn't widely used?
