Enthought Canopy ships without placing python-config in the path and a homebrew formula I'm trying to install wants to rely on the answers it gets from python-config. How should I resolve this? Some answers I've considered:

  1. Is there a chance this is provided by a package I don't have installed? If yes, install it and get on with my life.
  2. Roll my own python-config and yell at Enthought about it
  3. Revise the homebrew formula to use a more reliable way of interrogating how to build against python

Commentary, advice, and other options would be welcome!

You should be able to install python-config using pip. This KB article should help you install it.

  • `python-config` is not an installable package. It's [not in pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-config) and `pip install python-config` fails on "Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement python-config". – Tim Smith Jun 06 '13 at 03:43
  • I think, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/config is the package that you are looking for. `pip install config` should work. – punchagan Jun 06 '13 at 06:52
  • It is not, and it does not. That config package offers a facility for parsing configuration files. – Tim Smith Jun 07 '13 at 07:38
