I doubt setuptools will be fixed and released any soon for that. The project didn't see any commit from his maintainer since a year, and
he doesn't want anyone else that wish to help to take over to do so.
That's why we created a fork called Distribute that tries to fix the bugs founded in this project.
So there are two options for projects that build extensions:
- use plain distutils
- switch to Distribute 0.6.x.
Here's a detailed explanation of the problem:
