Description Björn 'besser82' Esser 2016-10-29 18:31:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Please update python-setuptools to a more recent version >= 19.0, may to the latest one shipped on PyPi, so we can build cythonized code on EPEL and stuff like that.  Building a cythonized-python-extension needs setuptools >= 19.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Currently I don't think a rebase of python-setuptools would be possible, however are there any specific commits that can be applied which will help for your use cases? If so, would you happen to have a reproducer or a report on what exactly is failing with that version of python-setuptools?
