Python includes files on Lion?

Where have been includes files of python in lion ? Usually it was located at "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6" but there is only one files in there : "pyconfig.h"

Is it the same on your system ?

Thanks.

On OS X 10.7, the include files for the Apple-supplied Pythons are linked into the locations within /System/Library/Frameworks when you install Xcode 4. You will find also find them in the /Developer/SDKs included with Xcode, for example:

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7

By the way, the canonical way to find the location of Python's include files is to use the python-config command associated with the Python instance you are using:

$ /usr/bin/python2.7-config --include
-I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -I/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7

UPDATE: I initially answered that the include files were only found in the SDK location. But I then remembered that, due to a nasty bug, I had had to reinstall 10.7 Lion on the same partition and by doing so that wiped out the links that the initial Xcode 4 install had made. After also re-installing Xcode 4 everything was as it should be. Something to keep in mind if you have to reinstall Lion.

Do this

import sys
sys.path

It will show you where the library files are. Something like this

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

From the site-packages, go up three directory levels and down into include (../../../include/python2.6). You'll find things here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6

Note. No /System
