This misidentifies the failure (automatically, I guess). The true
relevant part is:
python2.7 setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 9, in <module>
import egenix_mx_base
File "/«PKGBUILDDIR»/egenix_mx_base.py", line 11, in <module>
from mxSetup import mx_Extension, mx_version
File "/«PKGBUILDDIR»/mxSetup.py", line 318, in <module>
from distutils.ccompiler import customize_compiler
ImportError: cannot import name customize_compiler
make: *** [build-ext-python2.7-stamp] Error 1
This is because Python flip-flopped for a while on where
customize_compiler should come from, but as far as I've been able to
tell from analysing its revision history it's been available from
distutils.sysconfig all along and that's the current canonical location.
Here's a patch.
* mxSetup.py: Go back to importing customize_compiler from
distutils.sysconfig. This is needed with Python 2.7.3, and should still
work with earlier 2.7 versions.
