0.7.0/master fails to build with python 3.7, can't find std_memory.pxd

I'm getting this when trying to install either master or 0.7.0:

This happens on both Linux and macos. 0.6.9 release from pypi installs fine. The file is there, so not sure why Python isn't happy.

If I replace all imports with relative ones, e.g.

from .std_memory cimport shared_ptr

it seems to work.

Hi, I have the same problem but for much more libraries. The errors triggered on this command

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel

Ubuntu version: bionic Python version: 3.6.9

This is a small example of the involved libraries

I've run into this issue too. Though it seems to build fine if I force Cython version to be <0.30, it probably has to do with Cython releasing versions 3.0a* (https://github.com/cython/cython/releases). I wish Cython version wasn't unbound on setup.py. Sadly I don't know how to force the Cython version when installing python-rocksdb from pip.

I was getting same errors, but upgrading pip (and friends) helped here.

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel

This helped on Fedora 32 here too, thanks!

Thanks Fotis
