[Numpy-discussion] how to specify cflags from within setup.py?

[Rob Hetland]

I have an external module that I am trying to compile as part of a  
package.  It does not like to be compiled with -O3 optimization, and  
requires -O2 at most.  I have tried the few things I know how to do,  
like setting the extra_compile_args, and trying to change the CFLAGS,  
but these do not seem to work.

Is there a way to explicitly specify compiler flags from within  
setup.py?
