Comment(by fbissey):
My friend Steven Trogdon made some quick and dirty spkgs. His early tests
indicate that setuptools needs to be updated. This is now #11363 it also
revealed that I missed something in misc/cython.py watch out for an
updated patch sometimes this weekend.
There were also a few things that needed to be done in two other patches
which I refreshed yesterday.
I have a python-2.7.1 spkg ready to be uploaded probably sometimes today.
If you want fun before that you can always use Steve's spkg (they are not
in a reviewable state) at:
