[New-bugs-announce] [issue6403] distutils builds extension modules to root package directory

[ivank]

New submission from ivank <ivan at ludios.org>:

When I built Twisted, I noticed that 'python2.7 setup.py build' created
_c_urlang.so in the wrong place:

$ find . | grep _c_url
./twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.c
./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_c_urlarg.so
./build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.o

I noticed the same problem when I built Mercurial 1.3, too.

This happens with svn r73778, but not svn r73145 (June 2). I don't know
which commit caused the problem. I don't know if the problem is in 3.x too.
