What I'm working on is an automatic system for finding 3rd party libs to link against, e.g. say I have an extension which links against OpenSSL I want the setup.py to automatically find the .so and .h files.
Have you looked at scipy/scipy_distutils/system_info.py? It does exactly this thing for various 3rd party software like atlas,blas,lapack,X11,fftw,etc. and is meant to be easily extendable. See

Interesting. That approach is quite similar to what I'm doing in mxSetup.py for my packages. I've also added a reg. expr. search on the files to work around naming conflicts (e.g. ODBC data drivers tend to all use the same names for names for certain header files), so that I can identify these based on the success of the RE search, e.g. # SAP DB 7.3.0.21 ODBC driver mx_Extension('mx.ODBC.SAPDB.mxODBC', ['mx/ODBC/SAPDB/mxODBC.c', 'mx/ODBC/SAPDB/mxSQLCodes.c'], include_dirs=['mx/ODBC/SAPDB'], define_macros=[('SAPDB', None)], needed_includes=[('sql.h', ['/opt/sapdb/interfaces/odbc/incl'], 'ODBC Core functions')], needed_libraries=[('sqlod', ['/opt/sapdb/interfaces/odbc/lib'], '\[SAP DB\]')], data_files=['mx/ODBC/SAPDB/COPYRIGHT', 'mx/ODBC/SAPDB/LICENSE', 'mx/ODBC/SAPDB/README'], packages=['mx.ODBC.SAPDB'], required=0 ), Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH _______________________________________________________________________ eGenix.com -- Makers of the Python mx Extensions: mxDateTime,mxODBC,...
