Note that this log doesn't show it building the c lib or doing codegen. However, if we instead run python setup.py build first, it builds the c library and does its codegen, and then a subsequent bdist_egg will work. I'm new to python's setuptools, but it seems like bdist_egg should take care of building everything like build does.

[auvipy]

I will take care of this.

Was there ever a solution for this? I just ran into the same issue when installing librabbitmq via pip.
