Suppose I have a setup.py script which imports distutils.core.setup. Is there some way to, for example, add a command line flag to the build command so that I can run it like
python setup.py build --frob=True ? I see that the setup function takes an options parameter but the distutils.core.setup doc says little other than that it is a string and "default options for the setup script". There is also a script_args parameter, but the docs are similarly mum about what exactly it's used for. A posting by Greg Ward announcing it in Aug 2000 says script_args is a sub for sys.argv[1:]. Pointers to other documentation or tutorials on the topic cheerfully appreciated.
