Usage

Use setuptools, add setuptools_cython to your setup_requires.

Some verbatim code is required to make Extension behave as expected.

Usage example

setup.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from setuptools import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension

# setuptools DWIM monkey-patch madness

import sys
if 'setuptools.extension' in sys.modules:
    m = sys.modules['setuptools.extension']
    m.Extension.__dict__ = m._Extension.__dict__

setup(
        name = "example",
        version = "0.1",
        description="setuptools_cython example",
        setup_requires=[
            'setuptools_cython',
            ],
        ext_modules=[
            Extension('example', ['example.pyx']),
            ],
        )
