Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: I agree with Ronald: making sure all variables in Makefile provide values that can work in any environment just because distutils offers an API to read them would be a major pain.
What is planned is to remove sysconfig from distutils, and have it in the stdlib, with a private module built when ./configure is called, that would contain these variables. And maybe we could filter out some variables in this process to keep only the ones that can be used by code in all environments. IOW, if python-config provides what you need, LINKFORSHARED could be filtered out so the API cannot return it. ---------- assignee: -> tarek _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3588> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
