``pip install'' 's option corresponding to the python parallel building option -j.

Hi,

The ``python setup.py install’’ has the following option:

--parallel (-j) number of parallel build jobs

On the other hand, I noted that the ``pip install'' will invoke the ``python setup.py'' if necessary. So, I want to know whether there is the ``pip install'' 's option corresponding to the python parallel building option -j?

Regards

@azmeuk pip propagates build options to child dependencies. Use --no-deps to install . independently, and then pip install . again without the build-option flag to pull in dependencies.

Closing this out since this has been sitting for a while now and the use of --global-option to directly interact with setup.py is on its way out. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/build-system/ for the details on the second part.
