New submission from Dan Hemberger <daniel.hember...@gmail.com>:
The distutils.core.Extension class has a constructor argument `include_dirs`, which includes each directory with `-I`. However, it is sometimes desirable to include additional system headers using `-isystem`. Currently, this is only possible by manually constructing the compiler argument and passing it to the `extra_compile_args` argument of distutils.core.Extension. Since `-isystem` is a commonly used compiler option, I think it would be useful to add a new argument and attribute to distutils.core.Extension called `system_include_dirs`, which would use `-isystem` instead of `-I` when building the compiler command. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 320788 nosy: danh, dstufft, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: No option to include system headers in distutils.core.Extension versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
