script to query PETSc makefile variables?

[Boyana Norris]

Thank you both -- I'd prefer to use configVars.py, but it seems to 
depend on the script module, which is not standard in at least Python 
2.5. Googling for "python script module" is a joke, as you can imagine. 
Is this a PETSc thing or a general module I can get somewhere?

Thanks!
