Filipe Laíns <la...@riseup.net> added the comment:
distutils will install the headers to
{base}/include/python{py_version_short}{abiflags}/{dist_name}, and I think
probably the best option would be to do the same. So, I think we could add a
site-include scheme like I described and have the installers append a directory
with the distribution name to it.
I think it would be reasonable to put all headers in a shared directory,
site-include, given that we make sure the installers put them in a subdirectory
for each distribution.
About standardizing pkg-config-like metadata, I don't think that's a great
idea, as it would not replace the mechanisms you mentioned. It might replace
some, but not all, as there could always be a use-case that needs more
information or interaction than what our standard may provide.
Does this make sense to you?
