Ah, my bad. I _had_ misunderstood your question. Those cases would definitely need to have more properly defined behavior. As well, my attempt at my original idea convinced me that it may be difficult/impossible to implement an environment marker whose value may depend on per-command options. All told, I think your dict idea is probably a much better route to take (and more powerful to boot). I'll try to work up a patch implementing something along the lines you suggested. One issue is that multiple compiler patterns may match, so it might be better to use a list instead of a dict... and since extra_compile_args is already a list, it might be cleaner (and break less existing code) if I implemented a new argument entirely, eg "specific_compile_args" / "specific_link_args"; which took [ (pattern, option_str) ... ], and used the first pattern that matches (if any). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12242> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
