Message 175092 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

see issue #1161914 for the original script.

  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).

python-config is usally not used by python module builds, but third party build systems. When cross-building these packages you usually are unable to run the python interpreter for the target.

Georg, Martin, do you have any opinion if we should replace the python code with shell code (if it works on all targets), or if it should be added as a separate script?

Ray, some issues:

Please recheck, and compare the output of the python implementation with the one of the shell implementation.
