Ah, I missed that part. So setuptools special cases Pyrex in other places, too, thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I should really consider adding a Pyrex replacement to Cython... but that needs to be discussed on the cython-dev list. I still wouldn't mind having a few additional if-Pyrex-import-fails-try-Cython lines in setuptools for now...
