sysconfig

Access to Python's configuration information.

Functions

expand_makefile_vars

expand_makefile_vars(s, vars)

  Expand Makefile-style variables -- "${foo}" or "$(foo)" -- in
      'string' according to 'vars' (a dictionary mapping variable names to
      values).  Variables not present in 'vars' are silently expanded to the
      empty string.  The variable values in 'vars' should not contain further
      variable expansions; if 'vars' is the output of 'parse_makefile()',
      you're fine.  Returns a variable-expanded version of 's'.

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_default_scheme

get_default_scheme()

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_preferred_scheme

get_preferred_scheme(key)

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, *, strict=False)

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