Vinay Sajip added the comment: Updated patch to cover tests, and changed the implementation slightly. Tests pass on Linux and Windows (I'm not able to build on OS X). The patch is against the default branch but the diff should apply equally well to 3.6. -- Added file:

New submission from Vinay Sajip vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk: When used with a build from source (i.e. non-installed) of Python, get_python_lib gives the result (on Linux) [prefix]/lib/python[version] Shouldn't this be [prefix]/Lib? Note that get_python_inc() returns Include. That's because it
