Hello

when you create a command, you can define options (look at any command
in dstutils/command)
then you can pass these options either in the command line (1), either
in the setup() arguments (2)
either in a cfg file.

1) command line:

$ python setup.py my_command --my-option=foo

2) in setup.py:

setup(command_options={'my_command': {'my_option': ('setup.py', 'foo') } })

(the "setup.py" value is just a source value that is not actually used
here. it's used
when command_options is built from .cfg files)

3) in a cfg file

[my_command]
my_option = foo

Cheers
Tarek
