Passing through setup.py options

Pip has an (ugly) mechanism for passing through arguments. When using SciKit Build, these arguments are used to control the CMake build. So, for example:

setup.py install -- "-DCMAKE_MY_ARGUMENT=ON"

can be handled as

pip install . --install-option "--" --install-option "-DCMAKE_MY_ARGUMENT=ON"

(pip also offers a --global-option, but don’t provide much info on the difference; I assume this also gets applied to dependencies?)

pipenv doesn’t offer a way to pass this through to pip, as far as I can tell. This would make the most sense with . installs, since build arguments are not be stored (AFAIK) in the Pipfile.

Is there a way to give these arguments in the Pipfile?

@cLupus No.
