I wonder how one gets this value in Python code now? For example, the reason I stumbled upon this in the first place is that there is some code in PyCrypto (https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/blob/master/lib/Crypto/SelfTest/PublicKey/test_RSA.py#L464) that uses `get_config_var("SO")` thusly: ``` except ImportError: from distutils.sysconfig import get_config_var import inspect _fm_path = os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath( inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))) +"/../../PublicKey/_fastmath"+get_config_var("SO")) if os.path.exists(_fm_path): raise ImportError("While the _fastmath module exists, importing "+ "it failed. This may point to the gmp or mpir shared library "+ "not being in the path. _fastmath was found at "+_fm_path) ``` What would be the way to express this now in Python >= 3.4? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19555> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
