Ahh, my mistake.  The egg was around from previously (Dec 27).  "python 
.setup.py clean" didn't remove the earlier egg.

Same error (on self.swig_sources)

However, I'm ok for now, as I doubt the source has changed dramatically

Well, that's the problem then.  Here's mine (for Pyrex):

  def swig_sources (self, sources):
    if not self.extensions:
      return

What version of Pyrex are you using?
