I'm currently looking at integrating bgen with distutils.
Take a look at scipy_distutils. One thing that you can do is pass in a function as the sources argument of Extension. For example, to build the C source from a Pyrex source: def generate_c_from_pyrex(extension, build_dir): name = extension.name.split('.')[-1] source = extension.depends[0] target = os.path.join(build_dir, name+'.c') if newer_group(extension.depends, target): options = Main.CompilationOptions( defaults=Main.default_options, output_file=target) pyrex_result = Main.compile(source, options=options) if pyrex_result.num_errors != 0: raise RuntimeError("%d errors in Pyrex compile" % pyrex_result.num_errors) return target scipy_distutils adds a build_src command that precedes build_ext that executes these functions. It's a bit of a hack, and sometimes is a bit finicky, but it works. http://www.scipy.net/cgi-bin/viewcvsx.cgi/scipy_core/scipy_distutils/ -- Robert Kern rkern@ucsd.edu "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter
