Currently, python has it's own private config system that external modules can use, which is centered around e.g., /usr/lib/python2.3/config/.
More and more modern tools are being converted to use a standardized pkgconfig system, at least on Linux systems. I hope python can also be moved in this direction.
Without your contribution, it is very unlikely that anything will happen.
Even with a contribution, things might not change. It is important that old mechanisms of accessing the build infrastructure continue to work, so any new mechanism would have to be an add-on on top of the existing infrastructure.
