cython --annotate with compile-time environment variable

[Pierre Augier]

Hello,

I would like to do something that should be simple but that seems to be impossible with the last Cython release (I may be wrong).

I'd like to produce the annotated html file by the command line

cython -a example.pyx

But since the file uses one compile-time environment variable that is usually passed to Cython from the setup.py file (with cython_compile_time_env), Cython complains:

example.pyx:30:9: Compile-time name 'MPI4PY' not defined

So I should give as an argument the compile-time environment but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Since it should be quite easy to implement this feature, I tell you that it would be useful, at least for me.

Regards,
Pierre

It is already implemented, in your setup.py, use a
cythonize(annotate=True, …) call, and it will generate the HTML files
alongside the C files.
