Get rid of pyximport

I'm trying to use Cython. I use setup.py and build as opposed to letting pyximport do this. However, every time I import my module it seems pyximport is called. Pyximport fails to build and everything crashes.

I use Spyder. I do not have a single reference to pyximport in my project, but Spyder does not seem to care and keeps calling pyximprot.

I called my program from the command window (outside Spyder) and it ran just fine.

How can i get rid of the call to pyximport? Or is something else going on?
