[Distutils] Question about wheels and python-dbg 2.7

[Ionel Cristian Mărieș]

Hey,

It appears that using a debug build of python 2.7 doesn't mark the wheels
built using it in any special way. Pip would install them on a regular
python 2.7 (if they would be on an package index) and then later on imports
for C extensions would fail (not sure why, tho I suspect the different
"_d.so" naming scheme).

Is there something more complicated preventing this be fixed or there's
just hasn't been enough interest? Why does the import fail anyway?

Thanks,
