Ah. It sounds like it's just the SWIG naming conventions that irritate you.

For mymodule.i, SWIG will generate _mymodule.{so|dll} and mymodule.py 
(containing the shadow wrapper code).

distutils is aware of that naming convention.

Try just:

setup(name = 'my',
        ext_modules = [Extension('mymodule',
                                 sources = ['mymodule.i'])]

and distutils should do the Right Thing (tm).
