[Distutils] using sub_commands in distutils

Hi.

In a package, I have gettext catalog messages, and I want to compile
them when the package is build.

I looked at the Mercurial setup.py script, and what it does is:

from distutils.command.build import build
build.sub_commands.insert(0, ('build_mo', None))


Is this the correct way?


Thanks  Manlio
