[New-bugs-announce] [issue33457] python-config ldflags, PEP 513 and explicit linking to libpython in python extensions

[dimi]

New submission from dimi <dii.bogdanov at gmail.com>:

The python-config outputs ldflag for explicit linking to libpyhton, which is a good idea in many use cases. However, this is inconsistent with the PEP 513 recommendation for building manylinux1 python extensions (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/) that requires avoiding explicit linking to libpythonX.Y.so.1.
