[Python-Dev] PEP 384 accepted (original) (raw)

For example, I keep running into the issue that distutils doesn't currently support parallel builds. I have been pondering supporting "-j" for building extensions, using both unbounded "-j" and the GNU make style -jN build server. However, I know that the patch will be rejected, so I don't even start working on it. This would be a very useful feature for distutils2.

But I'm not interested at all in having it in distutils2. I want the Python build itself to use it, and alas, I can't because of the freeze.

Regards, Martin
