[issue11921] distutils2 should be able to compile an Extension based on the Python implementation version

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

The environment markers are specific to PEP 345, that is metadata, which includes dependencies, so that you can depend on something only on a given platform.  Your proposal of putting C extensions in another distribution and optionally depend on it should work right now, but is IMO too cumbersome.  Why not extend the format of the Extensions section in setup.cfg so that it supports environment markers?
