This module is huge, complex, and platform dependant.
Sorry, I was just referring to the data part of sysconfig, not sysconfig itself. Having a lookup function much like we have for unicodedata makes things much more manageable, since you don't need to generate a dictionary in memory for all the values in the config data. Creating that dictionary takes a while (in terms of ms). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
