Description

What's your question?

Is there a function for finding python include and library directories in ALL platforms? I was able to figure out the library path using os.findlib but I cannot get include directories in any OS.

Research direction

The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. First determine where Premake handles Python-related paths and how os.findlib is implemented across platforms. Done means documenting or implementing a consistent way to find Python include and library directories on all supported platforms, with coverage for the relevant platform cases.
