Does it mean that it actually makes sense to look into that direction and make wheel usage closer to jar?
There is a parallel discussion going on, with the title "Using Wheel with zipimport", which is relevant to this question, and other questions you raised (e.g. about supporting C extensions/pure-Python modules.
I have no knowledge about c extensions scope, but i feel like it might be of less importance then pure python packaging issues? Am I wrong?
A lot of Python users depend on C extensions - and while it is a subset of all Python users, it is a large (and important) subset. Example: any usage of Python in numerical analysis or scientific applications involves use of C extensions. Regards, Vinay Sajip
