GNU pyconfigure provides developers with file templates for
implementing standard `configure' scripts and `Makefile' recipes
for their Python packages. pyconfigure supports different
project needs, allowing you to write your build/install logic in
Python or in Make. Developers with existing packages need not
worry, as pyconfigure integrates well with what you have already
written. While the goal is to make it easier for Python packages
to provide the standard configuration and installation
procedure, pyconfigure also offers other advantages over the
traditional Python-based methods. Because much of pyconfigure is
based upon the powerful GNU Autoconf, packages that use
additional languages such as C or Fortran automatically benefit
from existing support without having to hack it in oneself, as
in other Python-based solutions. Opting to use Make to write
your installation logic provides you with a powerful, robust and
flexible system that has been designed specifically with such
processes in mind. pyconfigure c
