I don't understand the need for this. AFAICT, the purpose of python-config is to provide configuration info for embedding Python (Issue1161914 and https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html#compiling-and-linking-under-unix-like-systems). At some point, a pkg-config template was added (in Issue3585) but it seems to duplicate the purpose of python-config and thus is also intended for use in embedding Python (although we don't seem to document it, it is familiar to users of automake). I don't know what other purposes either python-config or the pkg-config template serve other than for embedding. AFAIK, they should not be used for building C extension modules. But admittedly this area is not well-documented. In any case, I think pkg-config and python-config should return the same values for similar parameters. Anyone else have an opinion? |
