Another vote for impeac^H^H^H^H^H^Ha separate .py file to store this. Mostly it's better since it allows tweaks to be made easily, (say the installpath changes, or a new compiler), a hundred different little things can happen at a local site. It'll also help during the development phases of this tool to have visibility into what's actually happening.
Same here. Furthermore, one can imagine writing a program which generates sysconfig.py for distributed heteregeneous systems, or even writing a sysconfig.py module which *does stuff* at import time. Why limit ourselves... --david
