Hello, did this issue ever get solved?

[luksurious]

I encountered the same issue with conda on MacOS.

Short answer:

We should not use python3-config --ldflags in the Makefile for linked compilations, but instead use the output from python -c "from distutils import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_config_var('BLDSHARED').split(' ', 1)[1]). When I replaced this, or ran the c++ command manually with the adapted flags, I could finally import it.
