[PYTHON-CONFIG(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/PYTHON-CONFIG/1/markdown)                       General Commands Manual                      [PYTHON-CONFIG(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/PYTHON-CONFIG/1/markdown)



## NAME
       python-config - output build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding

## SYNOPSIS
       **python-config**  [  **--prefix** ] [ **--exec-prefix** ] [ **--includes** ] [ **--libs** ] [ **--cflags** ] [ **--ld**‐‐
       **flags** ] [ **--extension-suffix** ] [ **--abiflags** ] [ **--help** ]

## DESCRIPTION
       **python-config** helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the  Python  interpreter,  or
       extension modules that can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter.

## OPTIONS
### --abiflags
              print the the ABI flags as specified by PEP 3149.

### --cflags
              print the C compiler flags.

### --ldflags
              print the flags that should be passed to the linker.

### --includes
              similar to _--cflags_ but only with -I options (path to python header files).

       **--libs** similar to _--ldflags_ but only with -l options (used libraries).

### --prefix
              prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found.

### --exec-prefix
              print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc).

### --extension-suffix
              print the extension suffix used for binary extensions.

       **--help** print the usage message.

## EXAMPLES
       To build the singe-file c program _prog_ against the python library, use

              gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) progr.cpp -o progr.cpp

       The same in a makefile:

              CFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --cflags)
              LDFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --ldflags)
              all: progr

       To build a dynamically loadable python module, use

              gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) -shared -fPIC progr.cpp -o progr.so
