OK, Sam... I'm very sorry, I got confused... The current
implementation of pyximport will just ignore these config files I was
talking about... You really need to apply the patch below to Cython
sources. The patch is against cython-devel repo, but I think you
should be able to fix Cython-0.11 as well. DISCLAIMER: I've not
actually tested this !!!!...
About how to find the location to put the per-user pydistutils.cfg
file, you forgot to "import os"!!! . In short, you have to enter a
Python promp and do this (here doing it in Linux):
>>> import os
>>> os.path.expanduser('~')
'/u/dalcinl'
If you can help me to test the patch below, then I'll start a new
thread to ask the other Cython developers to push this fix.
