The help states: > usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] so I would argue that setup.py ignoring global_opts after cmd1 is not a bug. But I do think that the fact that "python setup.py build --dry-run" does not prevent the build from running is not ideal. Maybe throwing an error for misplaced global options is the best solution? ---------- nosy: +zvyn _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue7202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
