I was looking over this patch (as it relates to my bug report: http://bugs.python.org/issue14877?@ok_message=msg%20161314%20created%3Cbr%3Eissue%2014877%20message_count%2C%20messages%20edited%20ok&@template=item) and noticed that this line:

+        if (not self.distribution.has_ext_modules() and 
+            not self.distribution.has_c_libraries()):
+            basename = "%s.%s" % (fullname, "win32")

I feel it may be better to insert plat_name there if it exists. That way, users can create installers targeted for win-amd64.  Why is this needed for a pure python packages? This bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue6792
