Thanks for this, I'll try it out when I get a chance. Although I
don't think I've run into this issue often, as I don't usually put
Cython in setup_requires, as I prefer to package sources generated by
Cython in the source dist (so users installing from the source dist
don't need Cython themselves, and I also get more control over the
Cython version used).
That said, I've wanted to work out a schema for adding Cython to
setup_requires only for source checkouts (but remove it when making a
source dist), just as a development convenience. I guess I've just
never tried it though...or maybe did and realized it was buggy and
forgot about it. Good to know that it *should* work now.
