Auto locate Python's .so on Linux (for cx_Freeze's --shared-lib-name)

[robert]

In a makefile I want to locate the .so for a dynamically linked
Python on Linux. (for cx_Freeze's --shared-lib-name)
e.g. by running a small script with that Python. How to?

How about run python -v yourscript and filter the output?

I'd need to know already the name and oon this installation it is
for example /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0

/usr/lib is not in sys.path

How about run python -v yourscript and filter the output?

for examples here python -v delivers many other python module
paths, but not Python's .so. For example

/usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0
