There seems to be no way to skip the build step when running "setup.py install" The behavior in such a case should be to skip build and use the existing binaries as created in a separate build step or else print an error. That way you can do "setup.py build" followed by "setup.py install --skip-build" and you only have one build taking place. The purpose of this would be to allow build to take place on a separate computer to install. Currently I do this on Vista because MSVC 2003 is not recommended or supported, and distutils won't use the installed MSVC 2005. So I do the build on a (virtual) XP machine and then install by hand for lack of this option. I think Vista is a strong enough use case to justify adding this feature. |

Python 2.5's distutils has a --skip-build option for the install command. In which way doesn't it solve your use case? For Windows I recommend MinGW32 as compiler. It's sufficient for most users. |

Python 3.0 has --skip-build, too. Can we close this ticket? |
