Or is distutils such a beast that working together on it would be counter productive ? The things I had in mind were: - add the possibility to build shared libraries usable by ctypes (I just have a problem to start: I do not know how to add a new command to numpy.distutils) - provides an interface to be able to know how numpy/scipy was configured (for example: is numpy compiled with ATLAS, Apple perf libraries, GOTO, fftw, etc...) - add the possibility to build several object files differently (one of your goal if I remember correctly)
