Is there a way to find out the default include path used by a compiler ? Does distutils have an API for this ? I scanned the code but couldn't find any hint.

So far I found these defaults:

Linux: libs: /lib, /usr/lib headers: /usr/include

Windows: libs: $LIB headers: $INCLUDE

Hm, what do you mean? These are not always set on Windows, depending on how MSVC was installed. You are aware of the function get_msvc_paths() in msvccompiler.py? Thomas
