Greg Hazel <gha...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The python setup script is for the python module, which is in a subdirectory of 
the C library project. I am not going to move setup.py to the root directory 
just to work around a a distutils bug.

This distutils bug could cause it to overwrite files in other directories, 
since it blindly adds relative paths to the build directory. This is clearly 
broken.

I've changed my code to use os.path.abspath() while I wait for a fix.
