Not an expert of Python build, but I've been creating a few « reverse engineer
challenge » where I had to ship modified version of the interpreter, so played
with it a bit.
I agree consistency is nice to reason about. It looks better to me to *not*
link with libpython.so directly. This is probably better as this does not make
``libpython`` an install requirement (e.g. when one wants to embed a minimal
version of python)
As a short check, I ran
```
nm libpython3.so | grep ' [tT] ' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | while read line; do nm
python | grep ' [tT] ' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep $line >/dev/null || { echo
"bad: $line"; break; }; done
```
and everything looks fine, so all symbols should already be in the interpreter.
I've also checked whether that's an issue or not for user-defined native
extensions and everything runs smoothly without the explicit dep.
So the argument would be: why adding this dep when it's not needed?
