setup.py and file extensions like ".c++"

[garyjefferson123@yahoo.com]

Is there any way to get setup.py to recognize file extensions like .c++
in lieu of .cpp? I'd love to not have to rename the source files for
the library I'm trying to wrap in a python C extension.

I get:

error: unknown file type '.c++' (from 'parser.c++')

when I type 'python setup.py build'

thanks,
Gary

The python docs imply that the file extension is dealt with by the
native C++ build system, so you have to use a recognized suffix (either
..cpp or .cc, and possibly others). Looks like .c++ isn't a standard
one. See
