Éric Araujo added the comment:

In my opinion it's easier and more common to put default options in a setup.cfg 
file, rather than in the Python code.

[issue16729] Document how to provide defaults for setup.py commands options

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

The way to override defaults for setup.py commands is not documented. For 
example, to change to name of build and dist dirs from setup.py, the following 
entry should be added to setup parameters:

options={
'build': {'build_base': '__build__'},
'sdist': {'dist_dir': '__build__/dist'},
}

An example would be extremely helpful at
http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#how-building-works
