python3.2 difficulty to use pre-generated pandas/msgpack.cpp

[yarikoptic]

on all aged Debian/Ubuntus (e.g. wheeze) where I build using pre-cythonized sources python3.2 seems to become blind and tries only to look for msgpack.c, not msgpack.cpp:

~/pandas-0.13.0# python3.2 setup.py build_ext
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

I wonder if anyone ran into this misbehavior (before I start patching left and right ;-) )

this has a specific entry in setup.py to check for the cpp, but @wesm would know more

your line numbers are different that what I see in current master. is this a current setup.py file?

[yarikoptic]

this one I believe is just a symptom of borken setuptools or distutils with python3.2

there were changes in setup.py after 0.13.0 release that is why line numbers might be different?

@yarikoptic sorry..was some slight changes (in formatting)

can you work around this?

I've never had to deal with this myself.
