New submission from anatoly techtonik: The way to override defaults for setup.py commands is not documented. For example, to change to name of build and dist dirs from setup.py, the following entry should be added to setup parameters:
options={ 'build': {'build_base': '__build__'}, 'sdist': {'dist_dir': '__build__/dist'}, } An example would be extremely helpful at http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#how-building-works tag:easy http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.distutils.devel/16434 issue16299 ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils, Distutils2, Documentation messages: 177742 nosy: alexis, eric.araujo, tarek, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document how to provide defaults for setup.py commands options versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16729> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
