|
|
|
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.prefex)}.
|
|
\end{datadesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{datadesc}{EXEC_PREFIX}
|
|
The result of \code{os.path.normpath(sys.exec_prefex)}.
|
|
\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}
