Re: [Distutils] specify available build commands
Specifically, I want to be able to add a configuration and build some classes only if one of these commands is specified.
what are you trying to do precisely ?
In a setup.py, there's a method that builds some classes and puts them in a zip file. Then there's a line
config.add_data_files(this_method)
The method doesn't need to be called when only a source distribution is being created. I was hoping there might be a way to switch this config line off if there's no need for it, or maybe only switch it on when it is needed (something beyond using sys.argv).

So you create a specific zip file on the fly, with some things in it, that is added in your source tree ?
Maybe you could create a specific source distribution command, that runs your code then call sdist
