[Distutils] unrecognised swig options ?

[Risky Martin]

Well, well... after some time crawling after information on distutils,
SWIG, and C++, it seems that disutils has some problems with
the combo SWIG/C++ (and bug/patches found across found on
mailing list never included in distutils :/ ).

So setuptools seems more alive, and I gave it a go:
Same example as below, replacing

from distutils.core import setup, Extension

by

from setuptools import setup, Extension

.

No luck. Same results.

Anyone with an idea ?


--thanks.
