Yes.

msg191944 from Nick Coghlan, made me think that with all the initialization 
rework that appeared to be underway you want to incorporate that presented idea 
of basing the default onto the location of the libpython.so or the 
pythonX.X.dll instead of the location of python/python.exe.
And as mentioned by Ronald Oussoren that would even align the methods used 
across the architectures to something common with a fallback to the current way 
that takes the path of the interpreter executable.
At least that is what the provided patch implemented in the old code structure.

And this does not even change the default for the common case where the default 
is plain useful. It is just changing the way how the default is determined so 
that the default for the case of an embedded interpreter is more meaningful.

As stated somewhere above. The you can do that with application code when 
setting up the embedded interpreter, but it would be nice if that just works 
out of the box and by that helps applications not thinking of that solution.

best

Mathias
