Jeremy, didn't you get my last posting ? It is rather easy to find the Makefile since the config/ dir is stored in the same place as the rest of the Python std lib (provided the distros didn't munge that fact as well, like e.g. some which remove distutils from the std lib <grumble>).
Yes, we could just do something like
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.__file__), 'config', 'Makefile')
to find the Makefile location (as long as os doesn't become built-in, like sys, or ends up in a zip file).
There's still the problem of working out where x86-64 non specfic things should get installed in lib64 or lib. I don't see an easy answer there.
It is a real shame that RedHat/Fedora didn't get this sorted before they started distributing python on x86-64. I wonder what SuSE are doing with lib/lib64?
