I'm looking for a way to include some feature in a python (extension) module in installation phase.
In a practical manner:
I have a python library that has 2 implementations of the same function, one internal (slow) and one that depends from an external library (fast, in C).
I want that this library is optional and can be activated at compile/install time using a flag like:
python setup.py install # (it doesn't include the fast library)
python setup.py --enable-fast install
I have to use Distutils, however all solution are well accepted!
