New submission from Antony Lee:
Currently, `./setup.py --help-commands` displays extra commands in a random
(dict iteration, probably?) order, as can be seen with the following minimal
example:
from distutils.command.build_py import build_py
from distutils.core import setup
class foo(build_py): pass
class bar(build_py): pass
setup(cmdclass={"foo": foo, "bar": bar})
(`./setup.py --help-commands` will sometimes display `foo` before `bar`,
sometimes `bar` before `foo`.)
For consistency, and especially because setuptools adds a lot of extra
commands, it would be nice if the help listing these extra commands was sorted
instead.
