Hi (David)!

I am evaluating numpy.distutils as a build/install system for my project

• is it possible to build the extension modules in-place so that the

project can be used without installing it? A pointer to documentation concerning this would be handy... Currently I use a regular Makefile for the build, which works quite well, but is not very portable and does not solve the package installation.

Otherwise let me say that numpy.distutils work very well, much better than the plain old distutils.

In-place builds can be setup with the -i option:

python setup.py build_ext -i

I think it is a plain distutils option.

I have tried

python setup.py build --inplace

which did not work, and --help helped neither, that is why I asked here. But I was close :)

thank you! r.
