[New-bugs-announce] [issue33439] python-config.py should be part of the stdlib

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

Rather than (or in addition to) being a standalone script, python-config should be invokable as a stdlib module, e.g. "python -m sysconfig.config".  This would prevent the risk of invoking the wrong script on PATH.
