Python 2.3.3 on W2K. For a project with a C extension python setup.py install fails if VC6 is not installed, and there seems to be no way to specify an alternate compiler on the command line. python setup.py build --compiler=bcpp works on the same setup, but python setup.py install --compiler=bcpp doesn't work because --compiler is not a legal option for install. install fails even following a succesful build. A workaround is to provide the compiler option in one of the configuration files.

Use "python setup.py build --compiler=bcpp install"
