"pip wheel --build-options"

[qwcode]

currently, pip wheel --build-options is a way to pass in "bdist_wheel" options.
It seems we really need a way to pass in setup.py build options

"bdist_wheel" calls build internally, but doesn't seem to support passing options into it?

@dholth ?

this doesn't have to be in 1.4, just want to make sure, I'm not missing something.

@dstufft @pfmoore What's the state of this?

[pfmoore]

Presumably no-one is particularly interested if it's languished this long. I suggest closing as out of date, if someone really wants to move it forward, they can reopen it and make a concrete proposal.

[pradyunsg]

Cool.

Closing this since it's been open for a fairly long time and no one has shown interest in any manner toward this.
