Unrelated to pep 517, remind me whether when invoking setup.py build -b dir bdist, if the -b argument passed to the build command is supposed to affect the build command run as a subcommand of bdist? Asking for a friend 😸
"setup.py build -b {dirname} bdist" will first run the build command (and its sub commands build_*) then invoke the bdist command. When bdist requests build to be executed, distutils will see that it is already run and simply continue on. Even if a reinit is requested (for build), the supplied options will be applied again when the build command is finalized prior to running. -- Jeremy Kloth
