Excellent, thanks.
The fix makes sure build_ext.get_ext_filename still works as it is supposed(just returning the extension of a filename depending on the environment) under all versions,*and* continues to do extra work for the Setuptools internal needs whenit is called by Setuptools itself on various places. It's two lines in Setuptools. But beware that a new Setuptools release might take a few months and maybe will never happen. That is why a suggested solution was to install Distribute, because it addresses among other bug fixes, this one.
I think we have two other choices. 2) PJE releases a new version of setuptools that fixes this problem.3) We (a.k.a. Tarek with our blessing) hijacks the setuptools name (e.g. on cheeseshop) and releases a new version
I still hope #2 happens, but let's have a deadline for when the more drastic measures will be taken.
