No, it isn't. A setuptools-based project does not need to import *anything* from Pyrex; it just declares a setuptools Extension() with .pyx sources. Further, if Cython includes a Pyrex-replacing build_ext in the same module location, it's not necessary for Cython either; setuptools will simply call the Cython one. That's why I'm saying that if Cython is actually a Pyrex *replacement*, it should work just fine, with no need for anybody to change anything. Conversely, if Cython is *not* a replacement for Pyrex, then it should use some other file extension and thus make the choice of tool explicit. My initial understanding was that Cython was a Pyrex replacement... which led me to wonder what all the fuss was about. But this assumption about replacing build_ext being necessary is clearly a big part of what's leading us to different conclusions. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
