But pyrexc should only get run from setup.py (ideally automatically by distutils), which only gets run from the correctly place. It wouldn't be difficult to put the command line option to explicitly specify the module name back in. We can discuss more what to do. I've put my new version of pyrex here so you can try it: http://sage.math.washington.edu/tmp/pyrex-20061021.spkg >> When I was an undergrad one of our semester-long course projects was to >> write and modify an interpreter (that was written in C).

I was a CS major for a couple years before switching to math.
