Ok, I will try installing it tonight from tarek's, and will let you know.
Also some time ago, I was trying to package it for Fedora 16 and I faced
similar problem with that, pysetup not getting installed.

Also @tarek, if possible Please update python-side for the package

And why do I need latest cython for distutils? I would be using 2.X and not
3.X
