My problem now is that setup on a mixed module installes everything into the system dependent branch of the install directories.

Errmmmm, setup.py install --help

Options for 'install' command: ... --install-base base installation directory (instead of --prefix or -- home) --install-platbase base installation directory for platform-specific files (instead of --exec-prefix or --home) --install-purelib installation directory for pure Python module distributions --install-platlib installation directory for non-pure module distributions

Errmmm, what I am looking for is a way to have, installing mixed modules, the extension modules installed in the --install-platlib tree and the pure python modules installed in the --install-purelib path. Now when you install mixed moudules everything gets installed into the --install-platlib tree, even the pure python modules.

If you are using packages, that's the only way it works (you can't have two parallel package structures with the same base name in Python). If you are distributing the files as top-level files, then this looks like a bug. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Software directly from the Source (#1, Mar 19 2003)
