Hook to add commands to distutils build?

Question

I\'ve added a custom distutils command to a setup.py script:

from distutils.command.build_py import build_py

cmdclass = {}
cmdclass[\'build_qt\'] = BuildQt

You can override build:

from distutils.command.build import build

class my_build(build):
    def run(self):
        self.run_command("build_qt")
        build.run(self)

cmdclass['build'] = my_build
