make.py initialization fails

I was attempted to build godot-python on Arch Linux when make.py errored out saying: 
usage: meson [-h] {setup,configure,dist,install,introspect,init,test,wrap,subprojects,rewrite,compile,devenv,env2mfile,help} ...
meson: error: unrecognized arguments: -c
Command '['meson', 'compile', '-c', 'build']' returned non-zero exit status 2.
Thanks for the help!!
