Description

I got a note saying that pyximport does not work in Python 2.6; I haven't looked into it myself.

It's actually the ihooks module in Python 2.6 that's broken here, not pyximport. This has been fixed in 2.6.1.

Sorry, my fault. It's not fixed.

The ihooks module is deprecated, as reported in the related bug.

It looks like pyximport requires a major reimplementation without using ihooks.

Does  http://hg.cython.org/cython-devel/rev/75f70a627666 take care of this?

Yes. It's not perfect, as it doesn't support changing the .so cache directory, for example. But that can be improved at need.
