The point is that current setuptools break developer builds. You can't change the sources without having (a fake) Pyrex installed, because setuptools will not let you run Cython.

If you want to use the native Extension type, do this: from distutils.core import Extension from setuptools import setup Alternately, you can use: from setuptools.extension _import Extension as Extension I will add this information to the existing setuptools documentation regarding Pyrex detection. Meanwhile, if you'd like to suggest a way of detecting Cython's presence, I can probably add that to the setuptools.extension module.
