This is normal: the person receiving your distribution must either 
have Pyrex, or you must include the .c file.  I normally just check 
the generated .c files into revision control, so that setuptools will 
automatically send them out in my source distributions.

(It can be a good idea to do this even if your target audience has 
Pyrex, since it gives you better control over which version of Pyrex 
gets used for the building.)
