.. function:: getsitepackages()
.. function:: getsitepackages(prefixes=None)

Return a list containing all global site-packages directories.

For each directory present in *prefixes* (or :data:`PREFIXES` if *prefixes*
is ``None``), this function will find its site-packages subdirectory
depending on the system environment, and will return a list of full paths.

.. versionadded:: 3.2

.. versionchanged:: 3.3
Add the optional *prefixes* argument.
