specifying headers for an extension
When building an extension, how do I specify that some C header files should be considered part of the sources for the purpose of dependency checking? I can't include them with the list of C files: running build_ext building '_datetime' extension error: unknown file type '.h' (from 'datetime.h') make: *** [_datetime.so] Error 1 and just specifying their location isn't the right thing either. I want the .o file to be re-built if the header changes. I didn't see anything about this in the docs. If someone can point me in the right direction, I can update the docs so others can find this information. Thanks! -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation

AFAIK, you cannot. Thomas
I need such things too. In my case there is the module initialisation in the *module.c file and some 100 of method definitions in another that is included into the first. It would be nice if setup.py can handle this. Thomas Heller schrieb:
