Does anyone have a clean solution to the problem of a user needing to specify non-default compiler optimization flags? Konrad Hinsen writes the following to numpy-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net -------- Original Message -------- . . . However, I am not quite happy with other aspects of Distutils. I tried it on my Molecular Modelling Toolkit as well, but users will kill me if I use this in an official release. Some of the code just needs to be compiled with the highest optimization level, and there is no way I can do that with Distutils. _______________________________________________
