_setup.ext.BuildExt

Class BuildExt

distutils.cmd.Command --+ | distutils.command.build_ext.build_ext --+ | BuildExt

Extended extension builder class

This class allows extensions to provide a check_prerequisites method which is called before actually building it. The method takes the BuildExt instance and returns whether the extension should be skipped or not.

build_extension(self, ext)

source code

Build C extension - with extended functionality

The following features are added here:

ext.check_prerequisites is called before the extension is being built. See Extension for details. If the method does not exist, simply no check will be run.
The macros EXT_PACKAGE and EXT_MODULE will be filled (or unset) depending on the extensions name, but only if they are not already defined.
the include subdirectory is added to the include path

Parameters:

ext (Extension) - The extension to build. If it's a pure distutils.core.Extension, simply no prequisites check is applied.

Returns: any

whatever distutils.command.build_ext.build_ext returns

Overrides: distutils.command.build_ext.build_ext.build_extension
