Something that would provide ie pkg-config --cflags python-2.7 or pkg-config --libs python-2.7 and others.

Setting severity to major as i really really need this in libreoffice asap.

Ok, what kind of flags do we exactly need? Are those for building modules or for building executables linking to Python?

I need exact output of the two commands I gave in #c1, as I link to the python to build some binaries.

The following should work, if you are in a hurry.

python_export EPYTHON
pkg-config --cflags python-${EPYTHON#python}
pkg-config --libs python-${EPYTHON#python}

Created attachment 342664 [details, diff]
Patch to add necessary functions

Could you test this patch, please?

The ebuild should do then:

  python_export PYTHON_CFLAGS PYTHON_LIBS

plus DEPEND on pkg-config.
