[New-bugs-announce] [issue1299] distutils.sysconfig is not cross-platform compatible

[Nick]

New submission from Nick:

I'm using scons (www.scons.org) and Python's distutils.sysconfig to
determine the correct compiler flags automatically to embed Python into
my C++ application.  I discovered that distuils.sysconfig is not fully
implemented on Windows.  Using distutils.sysconfg.get_config_var() or
get_config_vars() does not work on the Windows distribution.

The above calls will return values for INCLUDEPY LIBDIR LIB on Ubuntu
Linux, however, on Windows, these variables are not all declared.

These variables should be declared on all platforms so one can
automatically get the correct compiler flags needed to embed python in
one's C/C++ project.
