pkgconfig
=========

``pkgconfig`` is a Python module to interface with the ``pkg-config``
command-line tool for Python 3.9+.

The ``pkg-config`` command-line tool typically comes from a package either
called ``pkg-config`` (the original implementation) or ``pkgconf`` (a more
recent, improved reimplementation intended as a drop-in replacement).

The ``pkgconfig`` module can be used to

-  find all pkg-config packages ::

       >>> packages = pkgconfig.list_all()

-  check if a package exists ::

       >>> pkgconfig.exists('glib-2.0')
       True

-  check if a package meets certain version requirements ::

       >>> pkgconfig.installed('glib-2.0', '< 2.26')
       False

-  return the version ::

       >>> pkgconfig.modversion('glib-2.0')
       '2.56.3'

-  query CFLAGS and LDFLAGS ::

       >>> pkgconfig.cflags('glib-2.0')
       '-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include'

       >>> pkgconfig.libs('glib-2.0')
       '-lglib-2.0'

-  get all variables defined for a package::

        >>> pkgconfig.variables('glib-2.0')
        {u'exec_prefix': u'/usr'}

-  parse the output to build extensions with setup.py ::

       >>> d = pkgconfig.parse('glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0')
       >>> d['libraries']
       [u'gtk+-2.0', u'glib-2.0']

   or ::

       >>> ext = Extension('foo', ['foo.c'])
       >>> # sets extension attributes as needed
       >>> pkgconfig.configure_extension(ext, 'glib-2.0 gtk+-2.0')

   The ``pkgconfig.parse`` function returns a dictionary of lists.
   The lists returned are accurate representations of the equivalent
   ``pkg-config`` call's results, both in content and order.

If ``pkg-config`` is not on the PATH, an ``EnvironmentError`` is raised.

The ``pkgconfig`` module is licensed under the MIT license.
