Handle wave of overdue deprecations by abravalheri · Pull Request #4066 · pypa/setuptools (original) (raw)

In pip docs, the following example is mentioned:

python -m pip wheel --global-option bdist_ext --global-option -DFOO wheel

Since both --global-option and --build-option are supposed to be compatible with pip options, we should not prevent this abuse... (Although it is still error prone and the user is responsible for understanding in detail what is going on how this accidentally works).
