Python library difference?

Question

If I run

bob@me:/usr$ find . -name 'libpython2.7.so'

I get two hits:

./lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so

What's the difference?

Answer 1

One is the configuration for the libpython2.7.so while the other is the exact location where the files for that particular library reside.
