Message 47936 - Python tracker
I'm not sure this is the correct place to do this, but I found the need for a python-config (similar to sdl-config, etc.) when building an C++ application that embeds python. It accepts two arguments --cflags and --static-libs: # ./python-config --cflags --static-libs -I/usr/include/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a I guess it could be expanded to do more, but it was all I needed.
