One contains the include dirs for Python, not the other:

>>> distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('PY_CFLAGS')
'-g -O0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes'
>>> distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('PY_CPPFLAGS')
'-I. -IInclude -I./Include'

In Python 2.7 and 3.1, PY_CFLAGS did contain the include dirs, so this seems to be a regression:

>>> distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('PY_CFLAGS')
'-g -O2 -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -IInclude -I./Include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE'

Ditto for sysconfig.

PY_CFLAGS (C compiler flags) always used with PY_CPPFLAGS (C preprocessor flags). The include directories need for #include, so it is logical that PY_CPPFLAGS did contain them. This may be useful if you use C preprocessor without C compiler. I don't think that this is a regression.

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
