<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">This would add the ability to run <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-left-radius:3px;display:inline">python setup.py test --flakes</code> or <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-left-radius:3px;display:inline">python setup.py test --coverage</code>. Make sure you change “code_directory” to the actual directory containing your code.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">I don’t know if it’s easy to pass-through options specified by the user on the command-line, if that’s what you want. You could definitely munge <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-left-radius:3px;display:inline">sys.argv</code>, but at that point I would not use Setuptools’ test facility and just create your own by intercepting control at the beginning of the script. In general, I find distutils and Setuptools a little cumbersome in this area, which is why I use Paver.</p>

</div>I don't want a static list of these options: I want the user to be<br>
able to modify them. I want to have the defaults to be sane (I may<br>
add a few common options) but allow advanced and/or slow use cases<br>
(like coverage generation) to be added by the user.<br>
<br>
In retrospect, I think I can do this by munging sys.argv before<br>
setup() is called, but I am wondering if that is among the better<br>
ways. It seems rather heavyhanded for setuptools to insist to be<br>
informed a-priori of every single valid option, so I imagine there may<br>
be another way.<br>
