Reading that, it was done because setuptools assumes that the method
is always called with the full dotted name, when it was just being called
with the last part of it.
However, update-manager isn't using a dotted module path anyway, it's
passing a path.

is why this change was made.

http:// docs.python. org/distutils/ setupscript. html#extension- names-and- packages
shows that you would be expected to use
ext_ modules= [Extension( 'UpdateManager. fdsend' ,
['UpdateManage r/fdsend/ fdsend. c'])],
(note . not / in the first line)
Does this in fact work?
Bringing this issue to the attention of the developers on the above
bug might be a good idea (I don't have credentials).
