This patch proposes to add out of the box support for building against OpenCSW libraries on Solaris. It makes building all the extension modules a lot simpler since the CSW repositories provide almost all required libaries.

The order of preference is /usr/local, then /opt/csw which should prefer libaries manually installed by the admin.

[loewis]

LGTM. In the usual case, it is harmless if the system is no Solaris, or OpenCSW is not installed.

setup.py no longer used to build CPython since 3.12 (see #94474).

[merwok]

That’s true. If people still want to use opencsw for building CPython, please open a new feature request targetting the current build system.
