New comment by eli-schwartz on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40665#issuecomment-1326611779 Comment: Fixing mod_wsgi to link to libpython is correct, because upstream's configure script does so already. It was just an oversight that had it use python-config without `--embed`. Generally linking to libpython for extension modules is probably wrong -- upstream Python specifically moved to requiring --embed for this, because anything that runs inside the python interpreter is expected to load whichever library the interpreter provides.
