I've been working on ensconced which lets you use a SConstruct to build. It
is easier than customizing distutils.

https://github.com/dholth/pysdl2-cffi/blob/master/SConstruct is the most
code-generation-y project. Its build might be a little out of date and it
has an independent setup.py building the project with setuptools.

https://github.com/dholth/bioopenssl doesn't have C extensions but is an
example of a stub setup.py (only necessary for the develop command) and
pyproject.toml (which pip can use without a setup.py via PEP 517).

I have a project with a fairly involved build process where we generate<br>
C++ via a python-clang-based code analyser, generates Python bindings<br>
for the resulting C++ API with SWIG, and finally compile and link to<br>
create various .so&#39;s and .py files.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to package things up with a setup.py script, but from what i<b=

have read, it looks like distutils expects to compile, link and run<br>
swig itself, using distutils.core.setup()&#39;s ext_modules arg?<br>
<br>
Is there a way to write setup.py so that it instead runs an external<br>
command (e.g. &#39;cd foo &amp;&amp; make all&#39;) when it is asked to bui=
ld?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help,<br>
