# numpy.distutils.misc_util.Configuration.add_npy_pkg_config

`Configuration.``add_npy_pkg_config`(template, install_dir, subst_dict=None)

  Generate and install a npy-pkg config file from a template.

  The config file generated from template is installed in the given install directory, using subst_dict for variable substitution.

  Parameters : | template : str The path of the template, relatively to the current package path. install_dir : str Where to install the npy-pkg config file, relatively to the current package path. subst_dict : dict, optional If given, any string of the form `@key@` will be replaced by `subst_dict[key]` in the template file when installed. The install prefix is always available through the variable `@prefix@`, since the install prefix is not easy to get reliably from setup.py.

  See also

  `add_installed_library`, `get_info`

  Notes

  This works for both standard installs and in-place builds, i.e. the `@prefix@` refer to the source directory for in-place builds.

  Examples

      config.add_npy_pkg_config('foo.ini.in', 'lib', {'foo': bar})

  Assuming the foo.ini.in file has the following content:

      [meta]
      Name=@foo@
      Version=1.0
      Description=dummy description

      [default]
      Cflags=-I@prefix@/include
      Libs=

  The generated file will have the following content:

      [meta]
      Name=bar
      Version=1.0
      Description=dummy description

      [default]
      Cflags=-Iprefix_dir/include
      Libs=

  and will be installed as foo.ini in the ‘lib’ subpath.
