[Distutils] FW: disutil....

[Michiel Jan Laurens de Hoon]

Can't the extra_compile_args and extra_link_args parameters be used to 
specify additional command line options? For instance, I use

extension = Extension( .....,  extra_link_args=['-s'])

in the setup.py script to pass -s during the link phase.
