This is not possible in Distutils, and I know that Martin wanted such a feature, ccing him, not sure if he did something. In any case, building extensions in parallel would definitely be an improvement and a patch for distutils2 is welcome Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
