I find this confusing; it could use an example.
AFAIK the only real-world use case we know so far is for install, so I'd say something like this for install:

Various flags are passed to `+setup.py install+`, see `/usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python3` for details and similar macros.
To add extra flags/arguments to `+setup.py install+`, separate them with `+--+`, for example: `%py3_install -- --install-scripts %{_libexecdir}`.
To pass custom command line arguments directly to `+setup.py+`, define `+%py_setup_args+`.

and refer to that from build.

Yes, that's what I had in mind.
