[Pythonmac-SIG] customize distutils universal extension build?

[William Kyngesburye]

Is there some way to customize or override the build flags for  
building a Python extension (a C library wrapper)?

My main problem is that it adds the -g debug flag, ballooning the  
size of the module.  I want to build WITHOUT the -g flag.

Here's what I get from running the setup.py for the extension:

compile:

gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk - 
fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd - 
fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 ...

...

link:

gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -g  
-bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup ...


Note that I'm just building this extension, I don't do any of the  
programming for it, and I haven't got around to learning much Python  
yet (someday...).
