-The \module{distutils.sysconfig} module provides access to Python's
-low-level configuration information. The specific configuration
-variables available depend heavily on the platform and configuration.
-The specific variables depend on the build process for the specific
-version of Python being run; the variables are those found in the
-\file{Makefile} and configuration header that are installed with
-Python on \UNIX{} systems. The configuration header is called
-\file{pyconfig.h} for Python versions starting with 2.2, and
-\file{config.h} for earlier versions of Python.
-
-Some additional functions are provided which perform some useful
-manipulations for other parts of the \module{distutils} package.
-
-
-\begin{datadesc}{PREFIX}
- The result of \code{os.path.normpath(sys.prefix)}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{EXEC_PREFIX}
- The result of \code{os.path.normpath(sys.exec_prefix)}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_config_var}{name}
- Return the value of a single variable. This is equivalent to
- \code{get_config_vars().get(\var{name})}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_config_vars}{\moreargs}
- Return a set of variable definitions. If there are no arguments,
- this returns a dictionary mapping names of configuration variables
- to values. If arguments are provided, they should be strings, and
- the return value will be a sequence giving the associated values.
- If a given name does not have a corresponding value, \code{None}
- will be included for that variable.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_config_h_filename}{}
- Return the full path name of the configuration header. For \UNIX,
- this will be the header generated by the \program{configure} script;
- for other platforms the header will have been supplied directly by
- the Python source distribution. The file is a platform-specific
- text file.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_makefile_filename}{}
- Return the full path name of the \file{Makefile} used to build
- Python. For \UNIX, this will be a file generated by the
- \program{configure} script; the meaning for other platforms will
- vary. The file is a platform-specific text file, if it exists.
- This function is only useful on \POSIX{} platforms.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_python_inc}{\optional{plat_specific\optional{, prefix}}}
- Return the directory for either the general or platform-dependent C
- include files. If \var{plat_specific} is true, the
- platform-dependent include directory is returned; if false or
- omitted, the platform-independent directory is returned. If
- \var{prefix} is given, it is used as either the prefix instead of
- \constant{PREFIX}, or as the exec-prefix instead of
- \constant{EXEC_PREFIX} if \var{plat_specific} is true.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{get_python_lib}{\optional{plat_specific\optional{,
- standard_lib\optional{, prefix}}}}
- Return the directory for either the general or platform-dependent
- library installation. If \var{plat_specific} is true, the
- platform-dependent include directory is returned; if false or
- omitted, the platform-independent directory is returned. If
- \var{prefix} is given, it is used as either the prefix instead of
- \constant{PREFIX}, or as the exec-prefix instead of
- \constant{EXEC_PREFIX} if \var{plat_specific} is true. If
- \var{standard_lib} is true, the directory for the standard library
- is returned rather than the directory for the installation of
- third-party extensions.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-
-The following function is only intended for use within the
-\module{distutils} package.
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{customize_compiler}{compiler}
- Do any platform-specific customization of a
- \class{distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler} instance.
-
- This function is only needed on \UNIX{} at this time, but should be
- called consistently to support forward-compatibility. It inserts
- the information that varies across \UNIX{} flavors and is stored in
- Python's \file{Makefile}. This information includes the selected
- compiler, compiler and linker options, and the extension used by the
- linker for shared objects.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-
-This function is even more special-purpose, and should only be used
-from Python's own build procedures.
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{set_python_build}{}
- Inform the \module{distutils.sysconfig} module that it is being used
- as part of the build process for Python. This changes a lot of
- relative locations for files, allowing them to be located in the
- build area rather than in an installed Python.
-\end{funcdesc}
