A reportlab user says his pip install fails to create an importable C extension. He said "The platform is Mac OS X 10.11.6, aka "El Capitan". Pip didn't complain" which is probably true since the extension is not required for reportlab's main usage. I tried to reproduce on OS X 10.10.5, but my machine has xcode installed and the extension was correctly produced. I don't have any code in setup.py to prevent compilation; is there a way to alert users to the non-build of the extension(s). -- Robin Becker
