I thought that the answer is as complicated as this. At the moment it
would be nice and enough if i only can find out if my binary
extension can be loaded into an interpreter or if this requires a
new extension build.

It is a huge problem and weakness of python if this is impossible
with
debug builds.  And if you answer that this is up to the user, i have
to
say, no it isn't: At least if you are like me and are working on an
IDE with a debugger component.
