No, not really. There generally seems to be very little documentation about
what one is supposed to use when embedding python (rather than building a
python module). The only thing I really see is:
https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html#compiling-and-linking-under-unix-like-systems
which says to use python-config.
Yeah :-(. I don't really want to go there, because it will break
existing setups.
Yea, it seems to introduce a whole set of new complexities (finding python
from python-config, mismatching python-config and explicitly specified python,
...). And it doesn't exist on windows either :(.
Also note that python-config is itself a Python script that uses
sysconfig and includes code like this:
elif opt in ('--includes', '--cflags'):
flags = ['-I' + sysconfig.get_path('include'),
'-I' + sysconfig.get_path('platinclude')]
So this would just do the same thing we are already doing anyway.
