Re: [Bug-apl] Python Interface

[Christian Robert]

If I configure with: --with-libpython_apl
it says: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libpython_apl

If I configure with: --with-python
it fail in #include <Python.h>   (no such file or directory)
probably because of hard coded "-I/usr/include/python3.4m" which does not exist 
on my system.


this is because it try to compile with python3.4m  but on my system (fedora30)
the installed pythons are:

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python -V
Python 2.7.16

and

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3 -V
Python 3.7.3

You can probably invoke python3-config as in:

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --help
Usage: /usr/bin/python3.7m-x86_64-config 
--prefix|--exec-prefix|--includes|--libs|--cflags|--ldflags|--extension-suffix|--help|--abiflags|--configdir

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --includes
-I/usr/include/python3.7m -I/usr/include/python3.7m

[xtian@FC-30:/home/xtian/gnuapl] $ python3-config --libs
-lpython3.7m -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm


to figure-out where are the includes dirs and may be other dirs.

I suppose this interface is NOT intended for python2 at all, and it's fine with 
me.
