Try using the source tar file instead of directly from the git checkout.  
There are a ton of generated files that are not checked in to git, but they 
are present in the tar files you can get from pypi or from the snapshot 
builds site. Once you have the source tree you should be able to build 
normally, or do an in-place build with `pip install -e .` so python will 
import directly from your copy of the source tree.

If getting a debuggable build doesn't help then try to make a 
small-as-possible sample that replicates the problem so others can try it 
out too.
