Like I wrote; use popen() or system() from a C-program (an env-var
checker) that's not really related to Python programming. But rather to 
check various stuff needed for C-programming . Like walking the list 
of %INCLUDE / %C_INCLUDE_PATH dirs to figure out what headers are 
where. So I'd just as well add an option to check for Python paths too 
(if Python is installed that is).

That too.
