Python Extension Can't Use library_dirs

Question

WHen specifying library_dirs in a Python distutils.core.Extension I get this error when trying to build:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py:263: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'library_dirs'
  warnings.warn(msg)

Why is this? I am using Python 2.5 on Mac OS X.

As per the doc links, this is available for 2.5. http://docs.python.org/release/2.5/dist/describing-extensions.html#SECTION002340000000000000000 — pyfunc, Oct 07 '10 at 04:40

The error means you're not passing library_dirs to distutils.core.Extension, but to the distutils.core.setup function.
