I don't really want to go there, because it will break existing setups. An example is that on a few machines I have pointed the build to non-default Python installations by doing things like ln -s /path/to/desired/python ~/bin/python3 So there's no matching python-config in my PATH at all. Yeah, I can change that, but that would be a dealbreaker for back-patching this, I think. Getting back to the INCLUDEPY solution: I see nothing equivalent to that for the "platform-dependent include directory". But maybe we don't really need that? Not clear. regards, tom lane
