Have you tried

python setup.py build --build-base=whatever install

?

I chain the commands like this to switch compilers on Windows (build --compiler=mingw32 bdist_wininst) and it works fine for that.

Thanks Paul, that does work perfectly. I didn't realize you could chain commands like that!

Another way is to write a setup.cfg file - that way you could not forget to specify the flags all the time. Thomas
