The following raised its head on magnus.
python-config --ldflags
returns a directory which has a static library only (our dependency.py looks for .so files).
Now they do have an .so file which can be found in a sensible location (pythonroot/lib) which could be found with
python-config --prefix
Now, we could have dependencies look for .a as well but I don't know whether the rest of our build requires an .so .
A better option might be to add a scons option to look for the python prefix and set all the vars relative to that.
