[Distutils] That setuptools/Pyrex problem with swig_sources

[Peter Wang]

Hi everyone,

I ran into this problem (traceback below) the other day with  
setuptools 0.6c7 and Pyrex 0.9.6.4 on python 2.5.  I saw Phillip's  
post from October regarding this:
http://lists.copyleft.no/pipermail/pyrex/2007-October/002867.html

How do I get this setuptools fix?  Moreover, what is the best  
recommendation for others who are trying to build my project?  Is  
there some monkeypatching I can do in my setup.py to work around this  
problem?  (I see that the problem itself results from a bunch of  
monkeypatching...)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Pyrex is required to build  
Chaco on the Mac, and all the Enthought projects use eggs heavily, so  
this is sort of a fundamental problem for us...


Thanks,
Peter
