pass options to `build-backend`?

Not sure if this is the correct repo for the issue.

I’m using Nuitka to build some of my projects and specify it in pyproject.toml via

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "nuitka"]
build-backend = "nuitka.distutils.Build"

I’d now like to pass some options to nuitka.distutils.Build, but I don’t know if this is possible at all from build’s point of view.

Run build with the -n flag.

You need to implement at least two functions in a module. See PEP 517 specification for the requirements. Once that’s done and included somewhere in nuitka (say nuitka.build_dist), you’d be able to declare a pyproject.toml like this

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "nuitka"]
build-backend = "nuitka.build_dist"

and python -m build will call those two functions under the hood to generate a tar.gz and a whl.
