Documentation example doesn't work

[realead]

The documentation example from http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/userguide/wrapping_CPlusPlus.html#specify-c-language-in-setup-py

from distutils.core import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize

setup(ext_modules = cythonize(
           "rect.pyx",                 # our Cython source
           sources=["Rectangle.cpp"],  # additional source file(s)
           language="c++",             # generate C++ code
      ))

throws error with 0.29.12:

ValueError: got unknown compilation option, please remove: sources

If this to be believed (fginter/dep_search#13), it doesn't work since 0.26.

can i work on this issue ?

can i work on this issue ?

Sure. We probably need to instantiate an Extension object here, as done in other examples, and pass the sources into that. It's also worth using setuptools instead of distutils here. Try out what works for the example and then change the documentation accordingly.
