[New-bugs-announce] [issue21571] Python build should check CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH for module dependencies

[Jan Kanis]

New submission from Jan Kanis:

When building, pythons setup.py tries to find external sources for optional modules such as ssl, sqlite, etc. For that it searches the CFLAGS environment variable for -I options. C compilers such as gcc and clang also interpret CPATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH as extra search paths for headers/sources. Setup.py should do the same and also look in paths specified in those environment variables.
