    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.

    This is the right place if you want this to be included in
    the standard Python distribution. If you just want to share
    it with others, the Python cookbook is a better place:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

    In the current form, this is not acceptable, as it is
    incomplete (e.g. there is no integration into the Python
    build process, and we need to know what specific options are
    expected from a *-config program, and implement them). Are
    you willing to complete this?

    Ok. I'll make an attempt. What do you mean by "what
    specific options are expected from a *-config program"
    ?

    It appears that the *-config programs (e.g. gtk-config, ...)
    share command line options; this seems to be part of the
    "pkg-config" system. I think we need to understand what
    precisely the standard for these utilities is, and conform
    to it.

    Three comments:

    1. When running this script, I got the following error on
      Unix and Cygwin:
    $ python-config.php --cflags --static-libs
-I/usr/local/include/python2.4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'lib'

    1. Since we are Pythoneers, why write this script as a
      shell-script instead of a Python script? (sh may not even be
      available on Windows).

    2. Isn't it easier / more reliable to get this information
      via distutils? See section 5.6 of "Extending and Embedding
      the Python Interpreter".

    1. php? Anyway, I see that the 'lib' attribute actually isn't an official one. Bad
      call from my part.
    2. Yes, I'm ashamed to have commited such atrocities. :-)
    3. Ah, I see. Didn't know about that one.

    That said, as loewis stated previously this script should probably follow the
    pkg-config standard anyhow. I haven't gotten around to do anything further in
    this matter, unfortunately.

    Uploading a python-only version. This should conform more
    with pkg-config, though every *-config program on my box has
    other options.

    I took gbrandl's python-config, added a build process, and
    committed this patch as bpo-45417. Thanks to all contributors!
