Feature request: monkeypatch distutils to use clcache
opened this issue · comments
clcache should provide a module that when imported, monkeypatches distutils c compiler to use clcache.
I'm not familiar with distutils really, let alone how it uses the C compiler. Can you elaborate on what the issue is and how monkeypatching would help?
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11013851/speeding-up-build-process-with-distutils second answer. The problem is that the answer has suffered bit rot because it wasn't tested.
To clarify further, this should be done with a .pth file. That loads clcache during startup.
