python.distutils plugin: setup.py keywords

[timdiels]

I'd like to request support for setup.py keywords in the python.distutils plugin

For example (tersely):

• build.py: project.set_property('distutils_keywords', 'keyword1 key-word2').
• outputted setup.py: setup(keywords='keyword1 key-word2', ...). Defaults to keywords='' or omit the argument entirely if distutils_keywords was not set.

PS: great project, may its user base grow plentiful.

This is already supported. According to setuptools this is how you do it:
http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#adding-setup-arguments
Flexible entry points are already a feature:

It appears this only allows validating arguments given to the setup.py script. Could you give me an example of setting the keywords this way? Thanks in advance.

Ah, I got what you want to do.

@timdiels should be all set
