The shared library extension on HP-UX is 'sl', not 'so'. Because of
this, the following code in setup.py breaks:
# Copy the C extensions into the build directory
for filename in ['pyexpat.so', 'sgmlop.so']:
shutil.copy('extensions/' + filename, 'build/xml/parsers/')
shutil.copy('extensions/wstrop.so', 'build/xml/unicode/')
I can easy create an if statement for HP-UX but want to know if there
is a dynamic way to determine, via some Config module, what the shared
library suffix is. Perl has Config.pm for this. Does Python have
something similar?
