In the short term I will probably settle for a README that tells the user to modify the library names in setup.py. But in the long term your approach would allow me to merge the Python extension module with the library it calls.
Are you in a position (and willing, of course) to share the code for above mentioned commands?
Sure. Have a look at http://synopsis.fresco.org/viewsvn/synopsis-Synopsis/trunk/Synopsis/dist/com... * 'config' calls 'configure' on a number of subprojects * 'build_syn_ext' runs 'make' on extension modules (completely bypassing distutils' own 'Extension' data structure !) * 'build_syn_clib' runs 'make' on subprojects that generate standalone DSOs, not meant to be directly accessed as python extensions * 'test' runs a unit/regression test suite (qmtest based) Good luck !
