Re: [Distutils] Suggested additions to function argument list

Changing the subject, it might also be appropriate to pass down the temporary files directory for the current extension's build, unless this kind of code:

build_ext = self.find_peer ('build_ext') build_temp = build_ext.build_temp

is considered safe. If this doesn't violate encapsulation (for the compiler object to know that the build_ext object has an attribute named "build_temp") then I'll just do this and sleep soundly ;) As far as I understood distutils design philosophie (sp?) Greg will not like this.

The CCompiler classes should remain usable outside distutils. Thomas
