Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, the package I'm working on  
can't be built with distutils, so it may wind up being something of a  
contortion to call numpy.get_numpy_include() from the build system I  
need to use.

Understanding that the optimal, preferred method of finding the  
include dir will always be numpy.get_numpy_include(), if I must  
resort to a suboptimal method of guessing likely locations, what will  
those locations be?

Are they generally within the site-packages directory? Sometimes in  
the python include directory? Will they be ever-changing?

I will endeavor to use the more proper methods in my system, but this  
information would be useful as a fallback.

Thanks,

Zach
