There's no difference between "just compiling" and putting together a 
distribution.  Constructing a distutils setup.py is rather trivial so 
long as you have simple requirements.  Pyrex even ships with a 
distutils extension for taking pyx files "directly" to Python 
extensions.  See The Pyrex Guide <http://ldots.org/pyrex-guide/> for 
examples.
