Hi, The API reference for distutils tells how to get an instance of a new compiler sub-class with the following command: mycompiler = distutils.ccompiler.new_compiler(*plat=None*, *compiler=None*, *verbose=0*, *dry_run=0*, *force=0*) The API also specifies the commands to modify specific parameters within the returned compiler sub-class. However the API says nothing about how to actually "use" the new sub-class. In other words, how does one go about getting the following to work (or something similar)? python setup.py build where the build steps now use 'mycompiler' Thanks, -Simon
