I've implesmentd a new version of buld_ext.py and created a version of core.py and extension.py.

first thing I noticed when running a patched Cython: setuptools break. They already patch into distutils, so the patching in your code doesn't work. I would prefer doing without changes to core.py and extensions.py. AFAICT, this removes the support for configuring import directories at the Extension level. Alternatively, we could also import things from setuptools first and only fall back to distutils. However, this would bug people who have setuptools installed and want to build with distutils (for whatever reason, don't know how common that is). I'll take a deeper look into this. Stefan

Hmmm.  I've never used setuptools, so it wasn't a problem with me
A possible solution would be to try to import setuptools version of core and or extension if they exist, otherwise import the distutils version.   I'll get the source for setuptools and see what they are doing.  (This may take me a couple of days to investigate).
