Hi python-dev,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to discuss this potential bug - feel free to point me in the right direction if so. I'm running OS X 10.7.3, and have two python2.7s installed, one system default in /usr/bin and the other by homebrew symlinked in /usr/local/bin. While running a configure script, distutils.sysconfig.getconfigvar is not returing a full path for my homebrew Python framework, like so: Python 2.7.2 (default, Mar 28 2012, 02:31:16) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.1.00)] on darwin >>> distutils.sysconfig.getconfigvar('LINKFORSHARED') '-u PyMacError Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (the full path should be /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python)

Whereas from the system python in /usr/bin: Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin >>> distutils.sysconfig.getconfigvar('LINKFORSHARED') '-u PyMacError /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' This seems like a bug, no? Thanks for the help, Jordan
