The problem is that you're trying to import a module that's not 
installed yet, when setuptools has already imported the installed 
version.  So setup runs with the wrong version number.

If instead of importing, you just execfile the module like this:

    execfile(distutils.util.convert_path('Pyrex/Compiler/Version.py')

You will be guaranteed to get the version that's being installed, 
rather than the version that's already installed.
