This is for python 2.7.3 built with 0) ./configure --enable-shared --with-system-expat 1) I need both static and shared object, however libpython2.7.a is not copied in the installation target lib. Is this on purpose, or am I missing a flag in configure? 2) In share/man/man1/ there are two issues: 2a) the manual is for 2.7.1 instead of 2.7.3 2b) the man command looks for a python.1 file, therefore one must issue: ln -s python2.7.1 python.1

It would be helpful in the future if you would open separate issues for each problem you report. To address your points: 1) For unix-y builds, the static library along with other files needed for embedding Python are installed in the standard Python library directory in the config subdirectory (e.g. /usr/lib/python2.7/config). 2a) I don't see any indication of point version number in the currently generated man page: it simply refers to "2.7". The file name ".1" in the file name refers to what man section the man page belongs in, e.g. "man 1 python2.7". 2b) The Python makefile was changed (c208f5c1e4fe) between the 2.6 and 2.7 releases to install the versioned man page. I am guessing that it was an oversight that the unversioned man page install was dropped. Perhaps Matthias can shed some light on this. The man page installs should likely follow the "alt" scheme, meaning there should be both "altmaninstall" and "maninstall" targets called respectively from "altinstall" and "install", with the latter installing the unversioned link.

Here's a patch for 2.7 that separates the "maninstall" target into a "altmaninstall" target (which installs just the python2.7 man page as before) and a "maninstall" target (which adds symlinks from "python2" and "python"). Patches for 3x to follow.

3.3 patch looks fine. For 2.7, I notice python2.7.1 is linked to python.1 and python2.1; do we install python as python2?

"do we install python as python2?" Yes, PEP 394 support was added in 2.7.3 ().

As of 2.7.4, 3.2.4, 3.3.1 and 3.4.0, make install will now install the missing symlinks for the missing man pages, python/python2 or python3.
