When compiling a C extension (lxml in this case) in Py3.1, calling the
"build_ext -i" distutils target duplicates the package path when writing
the dynlib. In this case, I get "lxml/lxml/etree.so" instead of
"lxml/etree.so". Obviously, the extension module cannot be found
afterwards, as it's not inside its package anymore. The extension is
named "lxml.etree" when creating the Extension object.

This is a regression from 3.1rc1 AFAICT.

I've spotted the problem, it's a wrong usage of build_py.get_package_dir
in build_ext.get_ext_fullpath,

I'll add a test + a fix today asap,

Fixed in r73688 (trunk), r73689 (py3k), r73692 (3.1.x)

Thanks for the feedback, Stefan.
