[Python-Dev] Re: [bpo-22699] Cross-compiling and fixing sysconfig
Distutils is learning slowly, but this is about the setup.py that's used to build CPython's own extension modules (everything in lib/python3.8/lib-dynload). Questions about building third-party packages go to distutils-sig, not python-dev :) Cheers, Steve On 19Mar2020 2034, Ivan Pozdeev via Python-Dev wrote: Last time I checked, distutils didn't support compilation for anything but the running Python instance, nor was it intended to.
