[Python-Dev] How to fix the incorrect shared library extension on linux for 3.2 and newer?

[Julian Taylor]

The values on macos for these variables still look wrong in 3.3.1rc1:

./configure --prefix=/Users/jtaylor/tmp/py3.3.1 --enable-shared
on macosx-10.8-x86_64

sys.version_info(major=3, minor=3, micro=1, releaselevel='candidate', 
serial=1)
SO .so
EXT_SUFFIX .so
SHLIB_SUFFIX 0


the only correct one here is EXT_SUFFIX, SHLIB_SUFFIX should be .dylib 
(libpython is a .dylib) and .SO possibly too given for what it was used 
in the past.

3.3.0 also returns wrong values
SO .so
EXT_SUFFIX None
SHLIB_SUFFIX ""
