sysconfig

Access to Python's configuration information.

Functions

get_config_h_filename

get_config_h_filename()

  Return the path of pyconfig.h.

get_config_var

get_config_var(name)

  Return the value of a single variable using the dictionary returned by
      'get_config_vars()'.

      Equivalent to get_config_vars().get(name)

get_config_vars

get_config_vars(*args)

  With no arguments, return a dictionary of all configuration
      variables relevant for the current platform.

      On Unix, this means every variable defined in Python's installed Makefile;
      On Windows it's a much smaller set.

      With arguments, return a list of values that result from looking up
      each argument in the configuration variable dictionary.

get_makefile_filename

get_makefile_filename()

  Return the path of the Makefile.

get_path

get_path(name, scheme='posix_prefix', vars=None, expand=True)

  Return a path corresponding to the scheme.

      ``scheme`` is the install scheme name.

get_path_names

get_path_names()

  Return a tuple containing the paths names.

get_paths

get_paths(scheme='posix_prefix', vars=None, expand=True)

  Return a mapping containing an install scheme.

      ``scheme`` is the install scheme name. If not provided, it will
      return the default scheme for the current platform.

get_platform

get_platform()

  Return a string that identifies the current platform.

      This is used mainly to distinguish platform-specific build directories and
      platform-specific built distributions.  Typically includes the OS name and
      version and the architecture (as supplied by 'os.uname()'), although the
      exact information included depends on the OS; on Linux, the kernel version
      isn't particularly important.

      Examples of returned values:
         linux-i586
         linux-alpha (?)
         solaris-2.6-sun4u

      Windows will return one of:
         win-amd64 (64bit Windows on AMD64 (aka x86_64, Intel64, EM64T, etc)
         win32 (all others - specifically, sys.platform is returned)

      For other non-POSIX platforms, currently just returns 'sys.platform'.

get_python_version

get_python_version()

get_scheme_names

get_scheme_names()

  Return a tuple containing the schemes names.

is_python_build

is_python_build(check_home=False)

parse_config_h

parse_config_h(fp, vars=None)

  Parse a config.h-style file.

      A dictionary containing name/value pairs is returned.  If an
      optional dictionary is passed in as the second argument, it is
      used instead of a new dictionary.

realpath

realpath(filename)

  Return the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any
  symbolic links encountered in the path.
