You can take a look at bento, which is my own response to the distutils
issues we have in the scipy community (but I would expect twisted and
most big python libraries to have similar issues):
http://cournape.github.com/Bento/
It is designed from the ground up with the idea of reliable
customization and complex build supports. It can already build numpy and
scipy with a near 50 % reduction in LOC compared to our setup.py, and
more reliably thanks to using a real build tool in the backend (waf, but
you can add support for a different one if you want).
cheers,
David
