Uneducated guess: it has probably more to do with distutil's way of
building extensions.
distutil's build_ext.py seems to only know about swig extensions
(cursory review, cold medicine).
In this project's setup.py(select pieces):
...
try:
from Pyrex.Distutils import build_ext
vector3_source = 'vector3.pyx'
setup_kw = {'cmdclass' : {'build_ext' : build_ext}}
except ImportError:
vector3_source = 'vector3.c'
setup_kw = {}
...
setup(
...
ext_modules = [
Extension('vector3', [vector3_source,]),
],
**setup_kw)
The above should somehow educate distutils on how to build Pyrex
extensions; probably something has gone out of sync between distutils
and Pyrex after 0.9.3.
It seems to be a well known bug indeed.
