As title. Currently I ended up using this trick in my setup.py:
if len(argv) > 1 and argv[1] == "c":
sys.argv = [sys.argv[0]] + sys.argv[2:]
setuptools.setup(ext_modules = ext_modules, **common_setup_args)
else:
setuptools.setup(**common_setup_args)
So if I pass "c" as the first argument of ./setup.py , the c extension
is builded, otherwise the py version is packaged.
Is there not a better way to do this?
Why are you doing this?
If all you want is for it to be possible to install the package from
source on a system that can't use the C part, you could just declare
your extension modules optional, with the "optional" argument to
setuptools.Extension. see
