I would like to take this up task and propose a patch. However, I am not able to reproduce this issue on my machine (3.7.1). Does the issue seem to be fixed?

Here is what I tried: 

1. 

python setup.py --verbose build

I got the verbose build, as expected. 

2. 

python setup.py build --verbose 

In this case, it seems to have ignored the verbose option, as I got a normal (non-verbose) output. 

3. since the issue is with `verbose`, I tried quiet. 

python setup.py --quiet build

I got a quiet build. 

4. 

python setup.py build --quiet 


it ignored the quiet option, as I got a normal output.


5. I also tried a non-existent option. In the following both cases, I got an error saying 

error: option --qqqp not recognized


for 


python setup.py --qqqp build


and 


python setup.py build --qqqp
