Yes, I understand that. I should have been more clear--what makes me wary is that you are departing from normal behavior if, anywhere in the interpreters past history, a certain module has been imported. Now maybe (probably) I'm missing something here, does "import setuptools" in your setupegg.py do something more than just pass a flag to setup.py? If so, I'd really like to understand the magic. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
