Have you tried
python setup.py clean -a
? (like I suggested when you submitted this as a bug)
Perhaps this should be the default?
Cheers,

(please cc me on any replies - i'm not on the distutils sig)
Am I missing something or is "python setup.py clean" only a feeble attempt
at cleaning what was created by distutils? If I execute
python setup.py build
python setup.py clean
python setup.py build
the second build does nothing, claiming that everything is up-to-date. In
my opinion, the clean command should delete the entire build subdirectory,
not just the build/temp.<arch> directory.
Thx,
