python setup.py build --help-compiler
--compiler=bcpp Borland C++ Compiler
--compiler=cygwin Cygwin port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
--compiler=mingw32 Mingw32 port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
--compiler=msvc Microsoft Visual C++
--compiler=unix standard UNIX-style compiler
Is there plan to add clang?
