Me to, -1 on this...

However, Cython-the-compiler should not fail with syntax error if you
do 'cdef set s', right? This indicates that builtin module is being
used in the Cython codebase, and that is a potential source of
problem. In sort, I believe if you run Cython with python2.3, the
generated source should be valid Py3 C code, even if something like
'set' is being used. I'm missing something here?
