I would like to have a feature on platform module (or sys or<br>
somewhere) that can tell distutils or distutils2 that this platform<br>
(be it PyPy or Jython) is not able to compile any C module. The<br>
purpose of this is to make distutils bail out in more reasonable<br>
manner than a compilation error in case this module is not going to<br>
work on anything but CPython.<br></blockquote><div><br>Also, it would be nice if the package could tell distutils that the compilation is option, in order to support modules where the C version simply replaces functions for speed.<br>
