FIND_LIBPYTHON(1)

✨ FIND_LIBPYTHON(1) ✨

okay bestie, listen UP — this is a User Commands page (section 1 of the manual, iykyk), and it's about a lil tool called find_libpython that goes and finds the libpython that belongs to your environment. No cap. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

find_libpython — find libpython associated with your environment 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Here's the whole vibe, in one iconic synopsis block:

find-libpython [-h] [-v] [--list-all | --candidate-names |

       --candidate-paths | --platform-info | --version]

(it's literally formatted exactly like that, blank line and all, we don't gatekeep 🫶)

So what does it do? It locates libpython associated with this Python executable. That's it. That's the whole main character moment. ✨

🎀 options: 🎀

The moment you've all been waiting for — the flags. Every single one, bestie, not a single one skipped. 👑

• -v, --verbose — Print debugging information. It's giving spill the tea, tell me everything. 🔍
• --list-all — Print list of all paths found. Every last one. All of them. We're thorough here. 💯
• --candidate-names — Print list of candidate names of libpython. The name-dropping era. 🌟
• --candidate-paths — Print list of candidate paths of libpython. The address book era. 📍
• --platform-info — Print information about the platform and exit. Just a quick lil platform vibe check and then it's gone, bye. 👋
• --version — show program's version number and exit. Flexing the number real quick. 🔢

heads up bestie: --list-all, --candidate-names, --candidate-paths, --platform-info and --version are all sitting in the same slot there — the synopsis uses | between them, so it's giving pick one, not stack them. Just saying. 🙈
