Generally those build tools are designed to be invoked from the shell, |
| 17 |
not from within their implementation language. Of course you can invoke |
| 18 |
use a distutils setup.py script from within a python interpreter, but |
| 19 |
that's not how it's designed to be used and will probably end up being |
| 20 |
more complicated to handle than invoking it from the shell. |

Maybe it's 1% or 2% faster, but that's not worth the additional |
| 23 |
complexity. |

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
