setup_configure.py


"""
    Implements a new custom Distutils command for handling library
    configuration.
    
    The "configure" command here doesn't directly affect things like
    config.pxi; rather, it exists to provide a set of attributes that are
    used by the build_ext replacement in setup_build.py.
    
    Options from the command line and environment variables are stored
    between invocations in a pickle file.  This allows configuring the library
    once and e.g. calling "build" and "test" without recompiling everything
    or explicitly providing the same options every time.
    
    This module also contains the auto-detection logic for figuring out
    the currently installed HDF5 version.
