Hi,

since May 19, I get the exception below in the latest py3k site.py when trying to run a distutils build with it (building Cython). The changelog since the previous (working) CPython build is here:

https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/py3k-hg/374/

The failing build is here:

https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/cython-devel-build-py3k/1313/console

This is on 64bit Linux. I tried with a clean checkout, no difference. Is this problem obvious to someone, is there anything that needs adaptation on our side (I hope not), or should I file a bug report?

Thanks,

Stefan
